Leaders develop a vision of the future and align it with the purposes of their
organisations. Leaders inspire and motivate and set a direction with their teams.
They identify the best paths to progress, eliciting the potential of all those
who work for them. Leaders create leaders out of their team members.
Sustained success cannot be built on the leader's energy alone.
Indeed, as recent research by PriceWaterhouseCooper shows, a 'too dominant' leader
is one of the key causes of an organisation's failure. Sustained success requires
that the energies of all the team members must be directed towards a vision that
takes account of the aim of the organisation and the legitimate interests of all
key stakeholders in that organisation's life.
This course will familiarise participants with the solution
focused approach to leadership. The course is structured around four key leadership
tasks:
 |
Harnessing strength and potential |
|
Developing a shared vision of an inspired future |
|
Determining the best path towards the realisation of the vision |
|
Building enthusiasm and motivation |
The solution focused leader's style is collaborative, appreciative,
questioning and empowering. The solution focused leader values diversity and is
open to discovering new pathways that fit with the particular strengths and skills
of team members. The solution focused approach provides a straightforward framework
of ideas that has the power to transform working relationships and what those
relationships can achieve.
This course will invite participants to reflect on themselves
and their own best practices, their teams and the key stakeholders shaping their
joint futures. The course will support managers in learning a model of leadership
that makes the best of the potential available and builds new possibilities.
10 SKILLS FOR MANAGERS COURSE
This fast-paced day will highlight ten of the best strategies, skills and practices that Solution Focus
has to offer and adapt them to the everyday situations faced by each participant. For those who
wish to sample Solution Focus in action and for those who want a practical refresher this day will
prove invaluable. By the end of the day participants can expect to be refreshed, energised,
motivated and to be looking forward to putting their new set of tools to work.
ABOUT THESE TWO DAY COURSES
These two day courses will introduce participants to the solution focused approach
and to the skills that make it work. The courses will be practical with participants
actively engaged in their own workplace issues. Participants will also be introduced
to the underlying principles of solution focused practice and can expect to leave
the course not only aware of the possibilities of the approach but also with an
enhanced sense of thier own and their team's possibilities.
WHO ARE THEY FOR?
The course will benefit anyone in a leadership role who wants to get more out
of their team or organisation. Directors, managers and senior administrators from
both public and private sectors, senior staff, team leaders and supervisors from
schools and the health service.
