GMA EDUCATION
BMI PROGRAM .... A ROYAL SUCCESS An outstanding BMI ‘Leadership Principles’ Program was conducted in June with 41 participants from across Australia successfully undertaking the program at iconic The Royal Sydney Golf Club. The five-day intensive educational program saw golf club General Managers, Assistant Managers, Finance and Clubhouse Managers, along with Golf Australia club development staff, undertake leadership based learning modules, presented by content experts. Highlights included an Executive Presence session undertaken by Mehul Joshi of the Stephenson Mansell Group, ‘The Nature of Leadership’ session undertaken by Leading Teams facilitator Simon Fletcher, Governance and Strategic Planning sessions undertaken by ‘Concious Governance’ facilitator Jodie Wilmer, a ‘Leading with
20
Technology’ session facilitated by Nick Thornton of MPower MSL, and a ‘20 Rules of Power Politics’ session undertaken by Jason Koeingsfeld, the Vice President of Professional Development for the Club Managers Association of America. BMI participants also shared experiences and learnings across the week long course, particularly in relation to club trends, while also enjoying multiple networking opportunities including a late afternoon lawn bowls competition at the club. Furthermore, participants undertook a Luminar Leadership Assessment, to identity their own personal leadership traits.
The BMI Program is delivered in partnership between GMA and Golf Australia, and both organisations are extremely thankful to The Royal Sydney Golf Club, Michael Solomons, and his staff for their outstanding hospitality across the week. BMI Programs planned for 2020 will be announced in the coming months, with the current group of participants well on their way to potentially obtaining the internationally recognised ‘Certified Club Managers’ certification as GMA looks to finalise the details of this process later in the year following some further consultation.
