Programme Overview
In today's dynamic and complex landscape, the need to lead, learn collaboratively and build partnerships has never been more crucial. This 4-day face-to-face Clear Leadership Course is intended to support directors and deputy directors who are responsible for developing individuals and teams within the organisation, or who want to lead in a way that creates high engagement, real alignment around decisions and full commitment to the team’s purpose.
The Clear Leadership Course provides a thorough introduction to the partnership-based theory of organisational design and leadership. At the same time, the practical programme equips you with essential tools and core skills to enhance vertical development, and techniques to engage in meaningful conversations. Through this unique approach, you will gain intra- and inter-personal clarity to lead and exercise collaboration in partnership-driven work.
Learning Outcomes
Specifically, we aim to use the Clear Leadership Course to teach you three interrelated skill sets:
1) The skills required to sustain partnership and collaboration
Partnership is a relationship in which all parties feel responsible for the success of their common purpose.
Clear Leadership proposes that interpersonal mush will cause partnerships to fail unless it is regularly cleared out
2) The skills required for leading learning in the midst of performing
Clear Leadership proposes that effective organisations are those that are able to learn and perform simultaneously. Most leadership courses are about how to lead performing. Clear Leadership is about how to lead learning – that is, how to help people learn from their collective experience.
3) The skills of self-differentiation
Clear Leadership proposes that the ability to use the skills of Clear Leadership is limited by a person’s level of self-differentiation – and that use of the skills increases a person’s level of self-differentiation.
