Authentic Leadership

The heart of genuine leadership is trust. However, trust can quickly be undermined if subordinates, colleagues, and other important stakeholders sense a leader is insincere, lacking in vision or unwilling to take responsibility.

This Authentic Leadership training course supports leaders in increasing their sense of authenticity and confidence as well as building strong, trustful relationships with others thereby increasing their ability to influence and inspire valuable stakeholders. Besides, it focuses on the role the leader has in shaping ethical decision-making and in getting essential stakeholders on board.

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

• Digging beneath the surface: values, beliefs, and emotions
• Increasing personal credibility
• Formulating an inspiring vision for the future
• Aligning people behind this vision
• Empowering team growth through coaching and development
• Resolving ethical dilemmas
• Building trust and strong relationships within and beyond the team

By the end of this training course, you will learn to:

• Understand your personal style even better
• Align individual, team and organisational goals
• Leverage your personal style to gain influence
• Develop others with integrity
• Enhance key interpersonal skills
• Maximise long-term organisational outcomes

This Authentic Leadership training course uses a range of approaches to learning, including experiential group activities, individual exercises, mini-case studies and syndicate discussions. Formal inputs are used to introduce the underpinning theory. A key part of the learning process is sharing the differing experiences participants bring, as well as experimenting with the novel – and sometimes challenging – techniques. A psychometric instrument will be used to generate a personality profile, which will contribute to your understanding of your preferences and personal style.

Leaders who have the self-awareness and confidence to open themselves to colleagues and team members and other stakeholders are better placed to:

• Win and retain trust
• Leverage trust to promote ever better performance
• Build a powerful emotional bank account with stakeholders
• Bring their complete selves into their leadership role
• Make decisions that safeguard the organisation’s reputation
• Inspire and align forces behind a compelling vision

This GLOMACS training course will ask participants to challenge some of their preconceptions about themselves and their role as leaders to expand their options such as:

• Deepen and structure their understanding of their own strengths and areas for development
• Use this understanding to positively impact their interactions with others
• Develop new ways of inspiring, influencing, and empowering others with integrity
• Strengthen their coaching skills as leaders, to develop their people
• Open up new ways of fostering creativity
• Gain a greater choice of solutions for handling their leadership challenges

This GLOMACS interactive course supports leaders, new and experienced, in bringing the full power of their personalities and abilities into their leadership roles.
