Foundations of Leadership™


Introduction
Background
Traditionally Managers have operated in an environment that supported control of tasks and people. Demonstrating control helped to achieve success.

Challenge
In reality, we don’t have control over others. We work in teams. Our success depends largely on the success of others.

Solution
We need to shift the way we think and how we operate. Foundations of Leadership supports the shift to engage people for results.

Engaging people for results
Foundations of Leadership is a multi-dimensional program that teaches and connects people to the core coaching skills of effective leadership. These skills
  • generate results through engagement, and

  • align results with organizational goals.

Unique approach
Foundations of Leadership is unique in two ways.
  • We use a systematic, proven method to transfer skills to habit, and

  • Coaching is applied to strategic leadership challenges.

Systematic method
Foundations of Leadership employs a systematic method utilizing
  • experiential learning using real strategic leadership issues,

  • in-depth feedback processes, and

  • modeling and support from professional coach-facilitators.

The system includes classroom training, on-line reinforcement, and three tosix months of coaching that transfers the skills to habit.


Coaching to transfer skills to habit
Coaching is a discipline and skill set that supports a behaviour shift and engages people to heightened performance, innovation and accountability. Immediate application of new skills supported by professional coaching transfers new skills to habits that stick.


Who should attend
Foundations of Leadership is suitable for
  • managers who need to achieve results through people

  • teams who must collaborate to achieve results, and

  • leaders seeking to align activities with long-term vision and strategies.
