A recent survey of 1,000 global leaders in industry and academia were asked: What skills do today’s leaders need to help them address today and tomorrow’s challenges? Through themed analysis 23 skills were identified. Self-awareness was ranked as the most important skill 813 times out of the 1000 surveys.
This element of the program explores self-awareness:
What is self-awareness?
Why is it important to me, my team, and my business?
On the spectrum of self-awareness, where am I?
Ways to practice and engage with self-awareness?
Bringing this to my organisation.
Psychological safety is the ‘belief that one will not be punished for speaking up with concerns, questions, ideas or mistakes’ (Amy Edmonson). The large-scale Google Aristotle project examined what made teams effective? They analysed 180 teams and 37,000 employees. They found that what really matters in terms of team effectiveness was less about who is in the team, and much more about how the team worked together. They identified the top five factors which most significantly impacted on team performance.
Psychological safety was not only the top ranked factor, but the project also concluded that it was the foundation stone upon which the other factors stood.
This element of the program explores psychological safety:
▪ What is psychological safety?
▪ Why is it important to me, my team, and my business?
▪ How do we measure psychological safety within our teams?
▪ Ways to develop and support psychologically safe environments.
Thought leadership ‘involves a focus on relationships through careful listening to, understanding and empathising with and supporting other people, enabling those we lead to feel valued, respected and cared for, so they can reach their potential and do their best work’ (Michael West). Thoughtful approaches support leaders to effectively manage the performance of individuals, teams, organisations and systems. It can address unspoken problems. Research indicates that those who work within such teams are 35-40% more effective.
This element of the program explores thought leadership:
▪ What is thought leadership?
▪ Why is it important to me, my team, and my business?
▪ How do we know if we have thoughtful leaders?
▪ Ways to develop and support thoughtful leaders.
▪ Health & well-being
