Today's
businesses find themselves in a constant state of transformation, a condition
that requires executives who possess both managerial and leadership skills. This
new hybrid leader-manager can master change, develop a vision to which people
can commit, provide a framework for growth, and create a supportive environment.
The Leader-Manager development
programme
provides a context for preparing experienced managers for their new role as
leader-manager. It focuses on helping leaders balance five key practices that
shape the performance of individuals and their goals: mission, goals, feedback,
recognition, and support. The leader-manager of the twenty first century must
carry the vision, but also have the skills to manage its implementation.
The Leader-Manager focuses on
the complex and paradoxical issues of today's business environment. The skills
that participants develop in this programme will help them create and sustain
work units characterized by excellence, adaptability, and continuous learning.
Programme
Overview
This three-day programme is designed in a flexible, modular format so it can be
taught in half- and full-day sections. An important part of the learning
experience is implementation of the Leadership
Survey instrument. This multiple rater tool is designed to provide
managers with feedback about how the people who report to them perceive their
leadership behavior and to measure the overall satisfaction of work-unit
members. The overriding purpose of The Leader-Manager is to help managers
learn how to improve their leadership performance to positively influence both
the work unit's satisfaction and productivity.
The programme includes the following seven modules:
