Growing your business and organisation means managing people. The more effectively you lead, the better your team will be and the more profitable and successful your business and organisation will be.
How you lead and develop your people cannot be left to chance. You need this done well to avoid job and business casualties.
Previous attendees strongly identify with the Leading and Developing High Performance approach and developed the right vital mindset, well defined process and the fundamental skills of high-performance leaders to develop high performance teams, known as:
High Challenge and High Support
“A very common-sense approach to bringing about real and very sustainable improvements in performance.…Brought together years of teaching and learning around leadership development in one place – a real gem. Based on an understanding of self and own style as a learner, it cleverly weaves this through the performance management cycle in a way that will help people navigate the process in a rational, straightforward an understandable way.”
Paul Thomson, Westminster Associates

There are a lot of good resources on leadership available today. However, there are two critical truths about leadership that most people overlook
1: Leadership is a learned skill.
2: Leadership is tied directly to your behavioural style.
Just as there are different types of people, so too are there different types of leaders. Different situations call for different leadership styles.
Knowing your instinctive leadership style and being aware of what leadership style is required to meet the demands of the situation or environment is essential to be a good leader.
Being aware of your leadership and personality style, as well as knowing the styles of the people around you can give you the insight you need to get the most out of individuals and your team.
Some teams within businesses and organisations have five generations working alongside each other so leaders must harness the motivation of a diverse workforce.
Being an effective leader means developing your ability to have Courageous Conversations that promote diversity and inclusion within your teams, businesses and organisations.
