About the Program
Successful leadership is achieved when the leader has been able to create an enabling work environment that enables team members to achieve both their individual and team goals. All team leaders are confronted with working with people with different abilities, talents, experience, personalities and backgrounds.
Successful leaders are those who are able to recognize these differences in themselves and others and learn to adjust to optimise the performance of all individual team members. Employees are able to achieve more than they would on their own as part of a cohesive and effective team. Being part of such a team enables members to be able to capitalize on each other’s skills, experience and strengths for maximum output.
However, creating a high performing team isn’t always easy. It requires the team leader being able to create a team environment that is collaborative, cooperative and growth oriented. This five-day program will enable participants determine their strengths and weaknesses as well as the relevance of these strengths and weaknesses to current and future team leadership roles. The program will help participants create a working environment that will enable their team members share a common ideal, embrace a common goal, work in unity and produce uncommon results.
Through icebreakers, team building exercises, role plays and video presentations, this very interactive program will enable participants acquire the core skills and competencies to become effective team leaders.
