Effective leadership in modern-day organisations

Objective

Principle-based leadership® teaches inside-out leadership. It entails personal and leadership development and generally enlightens and empowers people for the workplace. Often much more so than volume-based training curriculums or extensive business school teaching.

The Effective leadership in modern-day organisations ILM certificate course focuses on modern-day challenges in the world of work. The accelerated speed of change necessitates learning and development in all the areas of leading self, others and change. The learning journey will leverage participants' potential to be effective in a new world of work.  From a leading self-perspective, the course includes self-awareness and adaptability as two key aspects of navigating the often stormy waters of a changing and demanding work. 

Building relationships, decision making, leadership style and empowering others are the main focus areas from a leading others perspective in the new world of work. Within the ecosystems that we find ourselves today, our effectiveness is tied in with aspects such as trend and systems awareness, organisational awareness, strategic thinking, cultural awareness, technology awareness and creativity and innovation. 

The learning journey will answer the questions about how we can adapt and develop to effectively meet the demands of modern-day organisations. It takes a holistic and integrated approach to leadership in modern-day organisations.

Change Leadership

 ILM level 5 Award in Leadership & Management

Objective / Blurb

In a VUCA world, as we experience it today - volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous - the need for change leadership is pronounced. In this course we will focus on the leadership challenges in a time of exponential change. We aim to assist you in your development as a change leader with the ability to understand the impact of change on the workplace, the need to be innovative and to lead and manage teams for more effectiveness in meeting the goals and objectives of a growing 21st century work organisation.  

This course will equip you to respond effectively to the typical challenges of the new world of work. Most senior-level employees were trained and/or exposed to the thought patterns and behaviours typical of the management paradigm. In other words, they attempt to control and steer matters from the top down and assume superior knowledge and ability in comparison to staff in general. In recent decades it has become clear that the old thinking styles are counter-productive in a VUCA world. VUCA is an acronym for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. 

In this course you will learn how to make the necessary changes in terms of your understanding of what needs to be done, your approaches to work, people and opportunities, your behaviours and application of  ability and skills.

Overview of Units – Group 2

Business etiquette is a set of rules that govern the way people interact with one another in business; with customers, suppliers, with colleagues, with inside or outside bodies. It is all about conveying the right image and behaving in an appropriate way. Business etiquette consists of a set of general guidelines for manners and behaviour in a professional setting that allows professionals to feel comfortable and safe at work or in other professional settings. The ability, within a place of business, to present yourself such that you make others comfortable around you and are taken seriously, is known as business etiquette skill.  It is, in fact, the ability to meet the explicit as well as implicit standards or expectations of individual behaviour that are set in order to facilitate the interaction between people in the workplace and nurture a mutually respectful atmosphere. 

Business etiquette skills include but are not limited to showing courtesy and respect towards one’s co-workers and employers. Demonstrating the self-control required for a particular job, as well as expressing one’s knowledge of various business situations without treating others with condescension, is equally important for mastering the business etiquette skills. The aim of the course is to introduce and equip delegates with the necessary business etiquette skills that will empower them to putting their best foot forward and obtaining benefits such as, building healthy relationships, nurturing a harmonious environment and showing confidence.

In a leadership role, much of your effectiveness and positive influence on others rests on your decision-making ability and style.
