Essentials for Extraordinary Leadership Workshop << back to integrative services

The creation and development of the Essentials for Extraordinary Leadership
Workshop is based on the premise that the world is in desperate need of a new breed of leaders; leaders who understand that their actions and relationships in the external world are directly equivalent to the quality and power of the internal relationship they have forged with themselves.

Those who are engaged in the on-going process of inner/personal development work are able to understand and demonstrate that mastery of the internal world (even at a beginning level) equates to an increasingly powerful, intelligent and resilient presence in the external world. Those who remain ignorant of the mechanics, processes and interrelationships of their inner (psychological, intellectual and emotional) world are highly vulnerable in the sense that they are at risk of being sabotaged by internal processes they are not even aware of and external forces they are unprepared for or are unable to perceive accurately.

It is often presumed that personal insight and wisdom is gained primarily with “time” and “experience” and that leaders will develop these naturally as they mature into their roles.  Subsequently, management training is usually focused specifically on the external demands of leadership. Yet the complex and immediate demands of leading organisations in the twenty-first century require that successful individuals are required to demonstrate some degree of self mastery immediately.

To be most effective in interacting with and motivating others, they must have awareness and insight into their own thought processes, emotional responses and behavioural patterns.  This is key to the development of self aware, well rounded, resilient and consistent leaders; in other words, leaders of integrity.

Key Objective:

• Participants will gain understanding and insight into their own internal (psychological, intellectual and emotional) processes and how these inner processes profoundly affect all aspects of their human functioning.
• Participants will learn new concepts, models and tools that will enable them to make changes which enhance their level of personal insight, awareness and acceptance as well as strengthening their level of resilience
• Participants will develop ability to more effectively and easily lead and inspire employees or teams, through enhanced communication skills, understanding of interpersonal dynamics and modelling of desired kinds and quality of interactions

Methodology

The workshop is an intensive two day journey into the meanings and practices of extraordinary leadership. It draws upon a variety of processes and methodologies to ensure maximum client impact; these include: facilitator driven concept presentations, group discussion and brainstorming, partnered and group sharing, guided imagery, workbook note-taking and journaling, vision mapping, self monitoring and self-tracking tools.

The workshop programme is flexible enough that it can be delivered over one or two days depending on the requirements of the General Manager/CEO/Company owner. The programme will be tailored to specifically meet the leadership needs of individual companies. The workshop requires a minimum number of six participants and can be delivered on or off-site.
