Developing Leadership Competencies and Building Future Leaders
A practical programme in leadership competency development for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in leadership competency development is earned separately. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on the organisational leadership capability, which nobody trained them for. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of organisational leadership is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It suits anyone whose decisions touch leadership competency development, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the organisational leadership discipline has actually achieved. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of organisational leadership matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. This programme builds leadership competency development from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants apply this area of organisational leadership to their own management team throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the organisational leadership discipline rather than a set of notes.
