Leaders are key to employee engagement and performance. In this module we will talk about the challenge of transitioning to a leadership role from within the team and the need to shift headspace from individual contributor, to leader.

As a leader our ability to understand and manage ourselves in a range of different situations is key. In this module we look at the concept of emotional intelligence, what is involved in being an emotionally intelligent leader, and prompt participants to consider their own strengths and trigger points.

Personality impacts behaviour. We will discuss how to recognize and appreciate different personality types, which is key to leading others effectively.

Building on previous module content, we look at how to manage energy and emotions in the workplace. The module prompts self reflection of a leaders impact on others, opportunities to improve our impact and how to manage emotions (both our own and those of other people) in challenging situations.

In this module we look at the ABCS of performance: Awareness, Buy-In, Capability, and Sustainability. We look at how to identify where performance gaps are and what actions to take.

Setting expectations clearly is the first step to effective management of performance. In module seven we will look at how to effectively set expectations of both task delivery and behaviour, and share some examples of how to do this in real life.

Giving feedback can be a challenging aspect of leadership for many people. In this module we look at how to give feedback effectively and how to receive it well so leaders can role model for their teams.

In this module we will look at the core skills of coaching and how to coach to enable performance. As well, we will work through some examples on how to unlock the potential in our people.

We will look at what causes conflict between people, the different approaches to conflict people naturally have, and ways to manage the more common types of conflict in the workplace.

What gets rewarded gets repeated. In our final content module we look at the importance of reward in motivating individuals and sustaining performance.
