Transformational Leadership

4-5 December 2023, Four Seasons Hotel, Limassol

Overview

Enhance your leadership skills. Boost your confidence.

In times of rapidly changing business contexts and globalised work, managers depend more than ever on their subordinates to get results. Employees may thus represent both a key resource and a liability for managerial success. Tapping the full potential of employees, however, may require leadership and people management skills that stretch beyond ordinary managerial competencies.

Grounded in rigorous, cutting-edge research, this programme aims to provide you with inspiration, hands-on tools, and knowledge that may enhance your emotional and leadership skills for managerial results.

  • Motivate your employees without using formal authority
  • Flexibly adapt your leadership style to meet the needs of your employees
  • Handle the ‘difficult’ colleagues in your organisation and get what you want without alienating them
  • Effectively promote change in your organisation, and breach resistance to change
  • Persuade your peers and get their buy-in to a new business idea they might find little appealing?
In this two-day programme, we will deal with people management questions and challenges. And the content is probably best described in trying to identify answers to some of the following questions. Can you motivate your employees without using formal authority? Can you persuade and influence them in an effective way? Can you flexibly tailor your leadership style to the needs of your employees at given points in time? And are you able to breach resistance to change for important initiatives that you’re leading in your organisation?

We will explore answers to those and other questions by drawing on a diversity of tools, frameworks, some theoretical ideas, but most importantly, the experience and the input from the delegates in the classroom. This programme aims to create value for anyone and the line management role who likes to explore fresh perspectives, new approaches, new tools, and methods in order to address leadership challenges.

So the teaching philosophy of the programme is heavily participant centred, which means that at the end of the day, this course is really about the challenges, the issues, the problems that participants face in managing and leading their employees.
