Managing Self and Leading Others

Increasing your agility and elevating your leadership and self management skills for remarkable success:

It is said that in order to lead others well, we first have to be able to lead ourselves. The most successful business professionals understand this intuitively, and invest equal amounts of time in developing both their self leadership and their people leadership abilities. Managers who have a strong understanding of their own strengths and areas for development, and of the beliefs and values that drive their behaviours, are frequently the ones who are able to role-model the behaviours they expect from others and engage and inspire their teams at a superior level as a result. 

By participating in this exciting 10-day Managing Self and Leading Others training course, delegates have a unique opportunity to develop both their self management, leadership and their people leadership abilities. During the first week of this managing self training course, participants will engage with the psychological dynamics that influence their own thinking and behaviour, and learn how to master these dynamics to create remarkable personal success. In the second week of this course, delegates will discover how the most effective leaders achieve results with other people, and how teams can be engaged, motivated and inspired to deliver outstanding performance and produce exceptional results for their organisations.

This GLOMACS Managing Self and Leading Others training course will highlight:

• Creating self awareness as a foundation for exceptional self leadership
• The 7 psychological habits of highly effective people
• Utilising agility to achieve results with others
• Techniques for building a high-performance team climate
• Developing others to achieve remarkable results for the organisation

The seminar is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Leading Yourself

MODULE II - Leading Others

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a two-week training course.

At the end of this Managing Self and Leading Others training course, you will have learned how to:

• Apply powerful self development techniques to elevate your life and career
• Increase your effectiveness and develop into a confident, charismatic individual
• Understand your own leadership behaviours and preferences
• Motivate, influence and inspire your team towards outstanding success
• Build a highly agile team environment

This Managing Self and Leading Others training course utilises a blended learning approach, and it employs a variety of adult learning techniques such as action learning, group discussions, video case studies and self reflection exercises. The resulting variety helps delegates to stay engaged throughout the course, feel challenged and draw quick wins for their own development. It also ensures delegates will receive opportunities to link their learning to the real-world challenges they face back in the workplace.
