Course on Action Centred Leadership
Today’s challenging commercial environment has meant that an organization cannot survive without effective leaders in management at every level of its operations. Dr. John Adair’s tried and tested approach has proven that leaders can be developed. This 3-day course meant for those in charge of others at work, will put you on the path to great leadership. This is an experiential course where delegates SEE, HEAR & FEEL leadership rather than being lectured at. Several leadership tasks are carried out during the course plus a major film study is made of two leaders at work.
Programme
The Course is almost entirely participative through use of teamwork and practical exercises, and is built on the Action Centred Leadership (ACL) model developed by Dr. John Adair. The model stems from observation of the actions of effective leaders rather than on the qualities they are supposed to possess. There is overwhelming evidence that while a few people may be “born leaders” and need no instruction, the vast majority can improve their performance remarkably if they receive practical, down-to-earth instruction on what a leader must do to be effective.
