LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
There is an insatiable hunger for talented managers in Corporate World. With that in mind, companies are trying to recruit new and fast-track existing talent to help them solve their biggest problems. Finding and hiring the “real deal” is getting harder. The risk is that a company hires someone who has a carefully crafted CV and sounds very convincing in an interview only to find out they fall short in executing on their promises. On the other hand, promoting someone to management without providing them with the necessary skills to be successful can be a setback for both the individual and the company. With this in mind, we have created a leadership development programme for junior, middle and senior managers to improve their personal effectiveness as a leader. Our vision for a dynamic leadership development programme includes the following:
• There is a common understanding of the leadership dimensions and expected behaviours
• The company values are alive and lived on a daily basis
• The customer is at the heart of the business
• Communication is improved at all levels, both vertically and horizontally
• Employees are engaged in problem-solving and thinking innovatively
• Leaders are team facilitators and coaches
• Innovative thinking is at the core of the business and a Continuous Improvement culture is embedded
• All People Practices are aligned to creating an enabling work environment
• Employees are using knowledge to improve the effectiveness of processes
• Team-working is across boundaries
Our FLAME (Future, Leader, Action, Motivation, Edge) training programmes continue to be one of our highest rated programmes for New Managers, Middle Management and Executives. At TLC we have years of experience across many industries from Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Construction, Auto Manufacturing, Mining, and other High Volume Manufacturing environments to Banking, Financial Services, Supply-Chain Management, HR and other transactional environments. The golden thread throughout all our leadership programmes is the focus on Continuous Improvement and the important role that leaders play to support this type of culture and environment.
These courses are full of practical exercises that enable learners to practice the tools in a safe environment enabling them with the confidence to use the tools in the real-world. Our leadership programmes include personal assessments (communication and conflict handling style), a 360 review process, practical training sessions and individual coaching. Leaders embark on this journey and gain insight into their leadership style and recognise the impact their actions have on others.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The cornerstone of any organisational transformation programme is a carefully constructed and robust Change Management strategy. The TLC Change Strategy includes a comprehensive stakeholder analysis in order to develop a communication plan aimed at responding to a Client’s adaptive challenges and potential resistance to change. The purpose is to ensure that all stakeholders fully comprehend the necessity for change and how it ultimately affects or benefits them, their work and the organization. In order to ensure long lasting change, it is important to address the system factors enabling the current way. This course is based on the latest research in Change Management, incorporating John Kotter’s 8 steps to Change and TLC’s firsthand experience with the General Electric’s (GE) CAPS Model Change Acceleration Process. The programme is practical, demonstrating how to manage change utilising effective tools and real world examples. Learn to create the vision, plan the change, produce quick wins and effectively communicate the change plans.
