What Will Learners Gain From Participation?

By the end of the one day Engaging Leadership programme, learners will know how to build engagement within their own team.  You will:

  • Understand the business benefits of Engaging Leadership and know the costs of being a ‘toxic boss’
  • Know and be able to apply key Engaging Leadership skills in everyday team situations
  • Understand the difference between being a ‘good’ leader and an ‘Engaging Leader’
  • Be able to identify key engagement drivers on own team and act upon these
  • Create a strategy to build an engaging culture in own team

 

Approach

This course is very practical, informal and fun giving you a great opportunity to explore the culture that exists in your own team.  We steer away from simply discussing theory and how you are going to apply it.  Instead, you will be asked throughout the course to reflect on your own team and specify the areas where engagement can be enhanced.

You will have an opportunity to discuss your team culture with other participants in a safe environment.
