After the Core Values or the Managerial Leadership Assessments, in a half-day workshop, we can help you review the questionnaire results with your leadership team to initiate the improvement process.
These customised workshops involve the following:
- Presentation of results and open discussion
- Identification of priority areas for improvement
- Brainstorming potential strategies and actions
- Developing a preliminary action plan with allocated responsibilities and timelines
- Establishing a follow-up mechanism to assess progress.
What it leads to
- Consistency in Leadership Behaviour: Consistent behaviour from leaders is crucial for establishing new organisational cultures.
- Behaviour as a Tool for Cultural Change: How leadership behaviour, particularly in demonstrating core values like fairness, honesty, and trust, is critical in shaping the organisational culture.
- Understanding Mythologies and Changing Systems: Systems within an organisation, such as policies, processes, and structures, significantly influence the organisational culture.
- Symbols as Manifestations of Values: Symbols, including rituals, dress codes, and gestures, play a significant role in conveying organisational values. Leaders must be aware that their behaviour is often interpreted symbolically.
What it leads to
- Enhanced Clarity on Leadership Strengths and Weaknesses: Clear and shared understanding of the organisation’s current leadership performance, highlighting areas of strength and those requiring improvement.
- Stimulated Innovation and Creative Problem-Solving: The brainstorming session encourages creative thinking, generating innovative ideas and strategies that might not have emerged in a more routine setting.
- Actionable Plan with Clear Accountability: Clear roadmap, including specific responsibilities and timelines, to drive the identified improvements.
- Strengthened Leadership Cohesion: Stronger relationships among the leadership team, enhancing overall cohesion and communication.
This highly interactive one-day session provides leaders with a deep understanding of how organisational core values, clear accountability, legitimate authority, and enabling leadership practices are critical for creating positive, productive systems.
Participants self-assess their organisation's alignment with its stated values, identify key pain points, and learn specific practices to address gaps. They explore principles like stakeholder engagement, systems thinking, and collective leadership through short case studies.
The training culminates in action planning, where participants develop targeted plans to update leadership practices, processes, communications and incentives to better exemplify the organisation's core values. This drives greater trust, employee engagement, and organisational performance.
This training provides a comprehensive yet practical approach for leaders to proactively identify and address core issues hampering their organisation's ability to achieve its objectives. Implementing the learnings leads to a more positive, ethical, and high-performing culture.
This training is ideal for mid-level to senior leaders, managers, and executives across functions who shape an organisation's culture, systems, and practices. It could also include high-potential employees being groomed for leadership roles.
