Leading at the Speed of Trust

Trust is Vital for High-Performing Teams Water is the vital substance that sustains all life on this planet. When it’s there, everything flourishes and grows. When it’s not there, everything withers and dies. The same is true for trust. Where there is no trust, relationships decay, projects fail, customers go to competitors, initiatives under-perform, and work grinds to a crawl.

Get Results and Inspire Trust Like a ripple in a pond, trust begins with you. Leaders who attend the highly interactive Leading at the Speed of Trust 3.0 work session will increase their personal credibility and practice specific behaviors to increase trust. As a result, they will be able to better manage change and lead high-performing teams that are agile, collaborative, innovative, and engaged

TRUST TAX TRUST

Instead of just attending a Leading at the Speed of Trust 3.0 work session, leaders learn to apply and sustain a new language and set of behaviors to real work. They TRUST learn about powerful tools and processes to sustain learning for fifty-two weeks following the work session, helping leaders engage their teams in a completely different way to be more committed and accountable to results.

The Middle Leadership Imperative @ Maitland Gaol A four-day professional learning opportunity for Assistant Principals addressing the three key themes of middle leading, collaborative professionalism and ideas in action. Who will benefit Principals and school executive Program Overview The middle leader has become increasingly more important to the work of schools through increased accountability and responsibility of principals (Dinham 2016). The role of the middle leader is evolving with specific purpose in facilitating collegial professional learning and in the development of quality student learning (Ronnerman 2014). However, ambiguity still exists in relation to what middle leaders are expected to do (Fluckiger et al 2005). Participation in this course will empower middle leaders through a practical understanding of the environmental and personal inputs into middle leadership, the key roles middle leaders play and the potential outputs in relation to teachers and students. This course will address an extensive review of available research on middle leadership leading to an effective undertaking of the middle leadership role in NSW schools through the recognition that middle leadership is teacher driven, site responsive and encompasses team based professional learning COURSE COMPONENETS MIDDLE LEADING This module will examine the role of the middle leader within the leadership structure of schools; leadership and management as a set of abilities and skills; as well as the impact of school context on the middle leadership role. Leadership qualities and character strengths will be viewed in line with a developing theoretical model of middle leadership (De Noble 2018). COLLABORATIVE PROFESSIONALISM This module will centre on collaboration and building social capital among teachers and other educators to improve student learning. Middle leaders will be supported in how to collaborate more deeply in ways that achieve greater impact covering topics: Leading a team by bringing people on the journey with you; Communicating effectively including difficult conversations; Importance of trust; and Feedback IDEAS IN ACTION This module will focus on site based educational development through the lens of middle leadership. Participants will be guided through the praxis of site based middle leadership with a rigorous focus on leading teaching and learning to enhance: Student learning outcomes; Effective and sustainable teacher learning; Pedagogical development; and, Curriculum and assessment practice.

PHASES OF THE PROGRAM

Phase 1 - Research We partner with Deakin Business School to understand the world of school leaders. At the start of The Flourish Move- ment program, the participants go through a thorough research process. This includes a survey, a 10-day diary study and a one-on-one interview to assess the individ-ual’s over- all wellbeing, as well as give them a clearer snapshot of their work and personal lives, where their time goes and how this affects them in their role as a school leader. While there are a number of surveys out there showing how poor the wellbeing of school leaders is, the addition of the diary study and interview gives individuals greater clarity around the habits that are diminishing their wellbeing. It also increases their readiness for change. Finally, this allows us to have a better understanding of each cohort and its needs, which will inform the facilitator to tailor the content of the workshops to the specific needs of that group.

Phase 2 - Intervention Education – 4 full day workshops, one per term. Educators gain knowledge on the latest psychological research, learn and develop strategies and techniques in relation to working as a School Leader, and develop action plans that allow them to clarify and identify their individual drivers for change. Behaviour change strategies – These are a series of initiatives that will facilitate behaviour change and make it easier for the information presented in the sessions to be implemented. Collegiate support – By attending these sessions together, School Leaders will be provided with the opportunity to connect and collaborate with their peers, which will then enable them to create and improve their professional network. By sharing experiences and opinions through group discussion, they will broaden their knowledge and capabilities and, therefore, improve their professional practice and performance.

Phase 3 - Re-testing We measure the impact of the program by asking the particpants to redo the baseline survey.

THE

6 CRITICAL PRACTICES FOR LEADING A TEAM™

The Challenge For Leaders Leaders at every level make significant impacts on every metric in your business: employee productivity and engagement, customer satisfaction and loyalty, innovation, and financial performance. They are the creators and carriers of culture for their teams and directly influence whether top talent stays or leaves. They are frequently responsible for the quality of the customer experience, and leaders and their teams are the biggest sources of product and process innovation. The role of every leader has always been tough and today’s realities make the role even tougher. People skills typically account for 80 percent of success in this role. Yet many people are promoted because of their technical capabilities. Both new and experienced leaders can struggle when it comes to excelling at leading teams in today’s workplace.

Sweeping changes in the world are forcing us to confront the urgent need for a new way to lead. The traditional “Command & Control” leadership style that prevails in 92% of organizations doesn’t inspire the level of commitment, motivation, collaboration, and performance needed today. For years we have talked about changing how we lead. Now it’s time to act. Trust & Inspire is the leadership solution for the future of work. Trust & Inspire leaders get phenomenal results in ways that grow people. They focus on releasing—rather than containing—the potential in each of us. Trust & Inspire leaders help their organizations win in the workplace and win in the marketplace. This is exactly the kind of shift needed in leadership today.

Introducing: Fundamental Beliefs of Trust & Inspire Leaders Fundamental Beliefs of Trust & Inspire Leaders explores five beliefs that transform how leaders think and behave. Trust & Inspire leaders have an expansive view of people and leadership. They deeply understand and are guided by fundamental beliefs about human effectiveness. The cumulative effect of these beliefs creates a Trust & Inspire leadership mindset.

OBJECTIVE Discover the extraordinary potential and performance unleashed by Trust & Inspire leaders. Identify barriers to becoming a Trust & Inspire leader and explore solutions for each. Understand and apply the fundamental beliefs of Trust & Inspire leaders.

OUTCOME Leaders with increased confidence about the new way to lead: Trust & Inspire. They choose to extend trust and inspire people to deliver their best results.

Leaders break with self-limiting beliefs. They prioritize creating conditions where people collaborate and innovate successfully. Leaders adopt expansive beliefs about people and leadership. These beliefs guide leaders to think and act in ways that elevate others’ growth to the level of delivering results.

Delivery Options Fundamental Beliefs of Trust & Inspire Leaders is ideal for every person who wants to transform their leadership style from Command & Control to Trust & Inspire. This course is available in multiple learning modalities, each includes reinforcement microlearning. Live In-Person

LIZ WISEMAN’S

What’s holding your team back from better results?

Under pressure to deliver results in good times and bad, leaders face a variety of challenges: •We can’t hire, but we need to grow. •We need everyone’s best, but people are burned out. •We’re okay today, but we’re not ready to compete tomorrow. •We have the best talent, but they’re not engaged. In these circumstances, leaders can’t afford to waste talent. They need people to innovate, to solve problems, to deliver results—and to be excited and engaged as they do so.

Introducing Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Ignite Everyone’s Intelligence In her research, leadership expert Liz Wiseman made a crucial discovery: There’s far more intelligence and energy inside organizations than we realize. Leaders are key to unlocking these capabilities. FranklinCovey has partnered with Liz Wiseman to develop a new solution that enables leaders to become Multipliers who: •Access and use the untapped capabilities on their teams. •Rekindle energy and enthusiasm as teams achieve stronger results. •Innovate by encouraging new and bold thinking. •Break through to new levels of performance by amplifying people’s intelligence. Multipliers deliver stronger results as people grow and teams excel. CHALLENGE SOLUTION Leaders rely on their own intelligence and Leaders access and use the untapped capabilities.capabilities of their teams. Leaders create tense work environments, which Leaders create space and encourage bold inadvertently shut down people’s contributions. thinking and smart risk-taking.

A FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS FOR LEADERS EVERYWHERE

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace. Every day leaders are making countless decisions and facing problems they’ve never encountered before. What worked yesterday can change overnight. The speed is relentless, the stakes are high, but the rewards are great for those who can lead a team to consistently achieve extraordinary results. So how can leaders stay ahead of the curve and differentiate themselves and their teams when so much is changing so quickly? R E S ULT S

MEET THE 4 ESSENTIAL ROLES OF LEADERSHIP Even in the most turbulent times, there are four roles leaders play that are highly predictive of success. We call them essential, because as leaders consciously lead themselves and their teams in alignment with these roles, they lay the foundation for effective leadership.

•Think BIG and adapt quickly. •Translate strategy into meaningful work. •Coach people to a higher performance. The 4 Essential Roles develop leaders who can master these skills consistently, within FranklinCovey’s unique framework that focuses on developing who a leader is as well as what a leader does.

Inspire Trust

Trust starts with a leader’s own character and competence—the credibility that allows leaders to intentionally build a culture of trust.

Create Vision Execute Strategy Coach Potential

Effective leaders create a shared vision and strategy, and communicate it so powerfully that others join them on the journey. Leaders must not only think big, but also execute their vision and strategy all the way through to completion, with and through others. Effective leaders develop the leadership potential in others and improve performance through consistent feedback and coaching.
