Course Overview

Advanced Leadership Skills is a practical two-day leadership development course for experienced managers and leaders who want to strengthen their leadership capability beyond the fundamentals. It focuses on the deeper skills required to lead people effectively, communicate with greater influence, manage performance and adapt leadership approaches to different workplace situations.

Participants develop their understanding of self-leadership, emotional intelligence, communication, motivation, influence, feedback, conflict management and performance management. The course also incorporates DISC® Leadership Profiling and Situational Leadership to help participants understand their own leadership approach and adapt it to the people and situations they lead.

The workshop also explores how experienced leaders can use AI to support strategic thinking, decision making and leadership effectiveness while retaining the human judgement, accountability and people skills essential to strong leadership.

Who Is This Advanced Leadership Course For?

This course is designed for experienced managers and leaders who already have management or leadership responsibilities and want to further develop their capability. It is particularly relevant for leaders who want to strengthen their communication, influence, self-leadership, motivation, feedback, conflict management and performance-management skills while becoming more adaptable in their approach to leading people.

A Situational Leadership Approach

One key factor to note for effectively leading a team are the situational variances. In essence, each team member has a specific set of needs that must be filled in order to generate maximum output. This knowledge is what separates good from great leaders.

Work situations can also vary, due to high-pressured environments and seasonal influences. As a manager, taking a rigid stance to leadership will pale in significance to adopting this more flexible approach.

And that’s why you need this advanced skills workshop.

DISC Behaviour Assessment

Please note: This course also includes DISC® (Leadership) Profiling which assesses individuals on four behaviour styles that include either dominance, influence, steadiness or conscientiousness. This predicts how the individual is most likely to act/react to certain situations as a leader.
