Description:

This one-day workshop on performance based leadership covers an important topic which can lead to a sustainable competitive advantage.

Performance based leadership is a strategy of improvement based upon performance driven through inspired leadership. The focus is performance and the strategy is developing the specific knowledge related to it. All those elements within a business which frustrate the willingness to improve are scrutinised with a view to changing the balance between effort and valuable work accomplished. The very nature of the work involved has to be carefully articulated and understood in order to be reviewed and reasembled with the waste and redundency stripped out. The manner of working must be reviewed and indeed evey facet of the work process reviewed and upgraded.

Leadership is what gets a business where it is going whereas management helps keep it there. Leadership is key to this concept because a strategy for the future is driven by vision and not by instruction. In order for leadership to be the driver, it must be the first in the chain of enlightenment. It is therefore a process of determining what will be initially included within the strategy from a study of all the possible opportunites and what changes to be reconsidered as the benefits become clearer.

The success of this style of leadership is in the willingness of those involved to participate. Everyone plays a productive part in this process, therefore all contributions are valuable and individual effort should be credited.

The leader in this environment is extremely important not only as the champion but as the coach and mentor to all of those being led. The job is to develop the conditions for change, a collaborative environment in which goals can be set and achieved by the team as part of the working culture rather than just a process.

Performance Based Leadership uses coaching and mentoring skills as well as workshops to create compelling reasons for incorporating this powerful performance driven process into the corporate culture.

An Attendance Certificate will be provided at the end of this skill course.
