Management

Driving Performance

Engagement, motivation and commitment

Enhancing performance is core business for leaders.

The Independent Review into the Public Service has made a call for ‘empowered managers accountable for developing people and teams.’

To answer this call and optimise performance in their teams, leaders need to understand what sits behind ‘performance’: capability, support and motivation.

This program is focused on empowering participants to positively impact the performance of not only their direct reports, but also their colleagues and even their own managers.

Focus areas include strategies to delegate effectively, give effective feedback, and motivate others both intrinsically and extrinsically.

Participants will consider how leaders impact performance through increasing motivation, engagement and commitment to get the best out of their people and consider practical approaches to bring that impact back into the workplace.

  • As a result of attending this program, participants will:

    • Delegate effectively

    • Give feedback that enhances performance

    • Increase commitment and engagement in others

    • Apply strategies to motivate others intrinsically and extrinsically

“Max went above and beyond in caring about each of us and always being open and approachable.

I’m so grateful for your willingness to witness me and to be a support as I came face to face with my shadow and worked out how to be the best leader I can be.

It was way more than I expected and you’re amazing.

Thank you for being you.”

Leadership from Afar

Effective remote leadership

In this new, dynamic world of leadership, we are now being asked to lead people via camera and over email – often without the benefit of having met in person.

Frankly, effective leadership has never been more difficult – almost all documented leadership wisdom and practices assume the leader is in the same room as their team members!

Leadership from Afar focuses on the practical strategies leaders can employ to lead highly effective, dispersed teams.

This includes:

  • establishing and maintaining communication excellence,

  • building meaningful trust relationships,

  • providing a balance of structure and autonomy

  • becoming an enabler

  • getting creative about developing cultural connections amongst team members.

The objective of remote leadership is the same as proximity-based leadership, however, the way in which it is achieved is going to look different.

This one-day program looks closely at how we can approach this new paradigm of leadership and enables leaders to be effective, no matter their location.

  • As a result of attending this program, participants will:

    • Adopt appropriate communication strategies for a dispersed and remote working environment

    • Develop trust relationships that do not rely on proximity- based approaches

    • Manage task delegation effectively

    • Engage in servant leader behaviours to enable team members

    • Develop a sense of ‘we’ amongst team members who may have never met each other face-to-face

    • Servant leadership

    • Management and delegation

    • Performance

    • Trust and rapport

    • Social insight

    • 1-day face-to-face or virtual workshop

    • Facilitator-led knowledge transfer

    • Small and large group discussion

    • Practical application: in-program management practice

    • Case-in-Point Methodology
