Inspirational Leadership: Leading with Sense Specialisation

About the Course

As busy people managers, we seldom find time to reflect on how we show up as leaders and how our leadership style impacts those we lead and manage. The price we pay for neglecting this can be staggering: according to research, the majority of today’s employees are not fully engaged at work and, as a result, deliver business outcomes that fail to truly propel their organisations forward and maximise their competitiveness. On the other hand, there are leaders who know how to inspire their teams towards high performance and understand how to get the best from each individual contributor they work with. This ability to motivate and inspire is what sets genuinely remarkable leaders apart from those who are merely average.

This intensive 5-day Inspirational Leadership: Leading with Sense Specialisation training course is designed to equip you with the skills and insights to inspire the people within your organisation to produce remarkable results. You will learn how to harness effective leadership techniques that maximise your people's engagement, productivity and creativity while simultaneously reducing staff turnover and absence. By engaging with the latest thinking into inspirational leadership, you will leave this course as a leader who has become a true asset to their organisation and knows how to mobilise the power that resides within its workforce.
