Topics Covered
Leading self
We commence the Elevate Programme by defining leadership, including what successful leadership looks like. We explore how our own self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and personality can contribute to a deeper level of authentic leadership. We cover the importance of self-care in leadership, specifically exploring stress management and how to deal with difficult situations. We wrap up the ‘Leading self’ module with the importance of emotional sustainability and creating a balanced life in your leadership journey.
Leading others
In ‘Leading others’ we take a deeper look at the human condition and leadership. Starting with what it means to ‘be responsible’, and how empathy and understanding motivation contributes to our leadership effectiveness. We examine how the leader shapes a healthy work environment, covering topics such as diversity and inclusion. We also examine how people learn and how to develop team capability. This module explores how effective leadership starts with building rapport and influencing others, including topics such as the challenges of leading a remote workforce. ‘Leading others’ is concluded by examining team lifecycles, stages of development and how providing effective feedback is essential to building a high-performing team.
