Course Overview

What makes the difference between indifferent, average and exceptional performance? It has been
acknowledged that effective leadership delivers exceptional results. Effective leaders empower their
organisation to create an environment where people feel significant, learning and competence matter,
people are part of the team, work is exciting, where quality matters and dedication to work energises
effort. An effective leader marshals his limited resources to deliver exceptional results.

Are leaders born or can they be developed? While some leaders are born with an innate ability, it is
well conceded that leadership skills can be developed.

It is often asked, “Is there a best style of leadership?” Leadership is basically situational – the
effectiveness of a particular leadership style is contingent upon the situation in which it is used. Most
effective leaders appear to exhibit a degree of versatility and flexibility that enables them to adapt their
behavior to the changing and contradictory demands made on them.

In the present era of rapid change leadership is critical. Navigating in uncharted waters and complex
situations requires skill and wisdom. Leadership for Managers is designed to equip you with the
insights, skills and confidence to enhance your leadership effectiveness and maximise your potential to
meet these challenges robustly.

This is an interactive learning opportunity that examines the role of leaders in their own development
and the development of their teams. The design incorporates self-reflection exercises, group work,
presentations and case studies to engage participants in thought-provoking discussions.
The seminar is based on the theory of situational leadership developed by Dr Kenneth Blanchard and
uses a Hollywood film (12 O’clock High – starring Gregory Peck) as a case study to anchor the
learning.
