Context and Overview
The client approached Executive Central to support the organisation as it explored ways to improve Branch level outcomes through its leaders. Through requirements gathering and needs analysis process, a program was designed and deployed using a range of pre-developed and bespoke elements that were mapped to their capability framework.
Delivered over through nine interactive online workshops the program covered such topics as; the journey to leadership, self-awareness and management, emotionally intelligent leadership, motivational and developmental delegation, time and priority management, business acumen (the levers of leadership), coaching for performance discussions, leading superior teams, and leading and managing change.
The program included interactive online workshops, peer coaching sessions (online), self-directed learning through our innovative e-zine and a participant survey used to evaluate the program was deployed.
The program was designed in a way that it could be embedded in business as usual and run more frequently across the department as part of ongoing leadership development.
