Join us for this unique Leadership presentation that will challenge the way you think about leadership. This session will go beyond the traditional and long held views on leadership theory and practice. You will unpack misconceptions and opposing views, providing a suite of proven and practical leadership tools to enhance your leadership practice and business results.
One of the most unhelpful quotes that has been widely adopted is that “culture eats strategy for breakfast”. It sets up a false dichotomy that views strategy and culture, as if they were two alternatives. Too many organisations think culture is attended to at a Team Building session while strategy is something to focus on at the offsite planning day. The best Leaders understand the importance of organisational culture and know that it must be a key strategic pillar. Paradoxically what is often referred to as soft skills are in fact the most difficult to action in the business world.
Participants will come away from this session with practical tools and skills, and a clear understanding of the following business leadership themes:
- Leadership vs Management in Teams. How do I lead myself, my colleagues and my business forward?
- Understanding human Perception: why others see the world differently than me?
- The impact of self-awareness and self-reflection? How is that different?
- Agreement vs Alignment in Teams. How to create and sustain high performance Teams? Learning to disagree without being disagreeable.
Join us for this unique opportunity with Dr Neil Carrington, to be held online May 10.
