Success Depends on Individual Performance

The Leading with Excellence training course begins by examining the nature of leadership, the distinction between leadership and management, and the personal qualities and interpersonal skills associated with effective leaders. It considers self-awareness, emotional intelligence, leadership styles and the influence of values, before moving to the role of vision in providing direction. The agenda then connects personal leadership with the development of others, introducing team leadership, individual responsibilities, team roles and the stages and dynamics involved in building high-performing teams.

The course subsequently addresses communication as a core leadership responsibility, covering active listening, constructive feedback and approaches to handling difficult interactions. It explores influence, persuasion and negotiation alongside the management and resolution of conflict. The final part turns to leading performance and organisational change, including motivation, empowerment and coaching, as well as the change process and responses to resistance. These themes bring together the agenda’s progression from individual leadership awareness and direction-setting to team development, productive working relationships, sustained performance and the leadership of change.
