    About the programme

    Leadership is a powerful role that can easily be abused. The key to using it wisely lies within each of us.

    This entertaining training programme looks at six warning signs of ineffective leadership, showing how seemingly insignificant actions can develop into destructive leadership practices. Each scenario clearly identifies a critical moment of choice when the leader either motivates or alienates a work group. The wrong choices are played out with engaging humour, encouraging each of us to take a fresh look at our own leadership practices.

    Some of the key training points illustrated include: don’t do people’s jobs for them; notice what people are doing right, and tell them; use your enthusiasm to solve problems; put leadership before friendship; take the time to really listen; and be an ethical role model, setting the standard by your own behaviour.

    Suitable for managers, supervisors, team leaders and newly appointed leaders,
    this invaluable resource easily adapts to leadership workshops for leaders at every level in any organisation.
