  • Used the action planning process to plan and implement at least one important initiative that has a positive impact on business results

Leadership Workshops: Maximizing Potential Through Developmental Leadership Workshops

Since time began, people have debated leadership. One of the most commonly asked questions is whether or not it is an innate ability or whether leadership development can be instilled into people.

Leadership

It is possible to analyze some of the military, political and business leaders of the past and to see that, sometimes, there is a very small difference between success and failure.

In most cases, this difference is entirely as a result of the personal leadership of an individual or a group of individuals.

This leads to a set of conclusions:

an organization must seek appropriate leaders and place them in suitable roles;

it should seek to develop leaders at all levels;

it must take steps to ensure that these leaders have the required personal attributes and attitudes as well as the appropriate technical skills.

Leadership characteristics

In one sense, it is possible to categories leaders into one of three groups:
established leaders with a proven track record of success and a current theoretically fit-for-purpose skill set;

junior or potential leaders who are perceived to have qualifying characteristics but who may not, as yet, have had the opportunity to prove their capabilities or have not had the chance to develop their potential;

established leaders against whom, certain performance-related question marks have arisen.

For an organization, people in all three categories may be in need of a leadership programme.

In the case of established successful leaders, it may be a good idea to periodically assess their philosophies, methodologies and skill sets against the ever-evolving needs of the enterprise.

Where gaps are identified, these can be dealt with through appropriate leadership development related activities.

Complacency and a previous track record of success may lead to this group being frequently overlooked. This is risky because if they are not subject to periodic development, then any accumulating shortfalls may only be identified 'in-flight' and in challenging times - traditionally the most expensive and potentially catastrophic time for leadership shortfalls to arise.

For junior and potential leaders, development activities may be even more critical.

This is about developing the individual in the context of a guiding framework and avoiding the risks of undesirable traits (e.g. becoming overcautious or rash) coming to the fore in the absence of a structured development environment.

Finally, there is the leadership group that are sometimes described as constituting a 'management challenge'.

This is an unfortunate term. In reality, many such individuals have been developed at great expense to the organization and they may well have a wealth of intellectual capital.

Given the appropriate environment, with a leadership development programme, it may be possible to re-equip the skills inventories and motivation of people in this group so that they become effective performers and leaders once more.
