People, Performance & Execution: Leadership for Modern Executives
Middle managers sit between strategy and execution. They must turn organisational priorities into team direction, improve how work gets done, secure cooperation across departments and develop their people, often without additional headcount or formal authority. When a manager's credibility and direction are weak, priorities change without explanation, delegation swings between micromanagement and abdication, and improvement ideas stall. The cost appears as missed deadlines, rework, disengaged employees and senior leaders pulled back into operational decisions.
This 2-day immersive program moves participants from supervising tasks out of habit to leading people, change and results with credibility and intent. It is structured around Kouzes and Posner's Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® and Leadership Practices Inventory®, with Blanchard's Situational Leadership® II for delegation and a reflection on Blake and Mouton's Managerial Grid. Participants leave with a leadership commitment, a team direction message, an improvement experiment, a delegation agreement and a 30-day action plan.
