The High Performance Leadership program uses Leading Teams models of leadership and team development to equip participants with the understanding and practical tools required to be a high performing leader within their organisation.

This program is designed for individuals that wish to develop and sharpen their leadership skills in a supportive yet challenging environment.

The High Performance Leadership program comprises six full days of interactive workshops, delivered over a 6-8 month period with approximately 4-6 weeks between sessions.

This program will commence on Tuesday 28th March 2023. The dates of subsequent sessions will be agreed between members of the group on day 1.

The delivery of the program is flexible, with sessions tailored to address the specific needs of the participants..

High Performance Leadership is a program of practical and experiential learning, delivered by Leading Teams’ expert facilitators.

As well as offering a learning opportunity, the program creates a forum for the discussion of leadership and the creation of peer networks among the group. Participants will reflect on their individual leadership practice to identify areas for development. They will have the opportunity to apply the tools and models to their leadership practice between sessions and discuss the outcomes at the next meeting.

All sessions involve the discussion of workplace matters raised by program participants. This real-life, action-based learning approach enables the sharing of experiences and ideas between group members and fosters strong networks and relationships that will deliver genuine workplace improvement.
