What You'll Learn
As the world’s social, political, and financial issues become more complex, the leadership approaches we look to to solve issues that are multi-dimensional and cross-disciplinary call for an alternative approach to person-centric leadership.
Relational leadership is an approach to creating positive change through our relationships with others. This approach to leadership assumes that contributions to positive outcomes come from all members of the team that everyone has a role to play in bringing about desired, purpose-driven outcomes.
Relational leadership works best for those who work from a strong position of ‘we’ in bringing about positive change. It assumes that the role of the leader is to start with an understanding of what does the group value, want and need to be successful?
In this leadership development offering, leaders will learn:
- Why relational leadership is ‘fit for purpose’ in today’s complex environments where multiple points of view must be reflected in solutions for change.
- How relational leadership addresses what workers of today want including a sense of purpose, involvement in decision-making and opportunities for growth.
- How relational leadership creates inclusion, empowerment, values, and team process need to move toward purpose-driven outcomes.
- Core skills of building teams that create an environment where people can do their best work because they feel valued, empowered, and included.
This 2-Day Leadership Course has been created for those who work in environments where personal contribution at all levels is encouraged including healthcare, education, farming, and other organisations where the assumption is that everyone has a role to play in bringing about change.
