Heart of England NHS ILM 5 Leadership programme
This programme has been specifically designed for our managers. It covers the latest
thinking on leadership, emotional intelligence, positive psychology, communication
and NLP. There are approximately 50 hours of learning plus assessment. The learning
is a blend of self-reflection and feedback from colleagues, two assignments and 6
workshops.
The programme is mapped out to the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM)
qualification the Award in Leadership and Management Level 5. The qualification is
assessed by two management reports one covering your leadership and the second a
business improvement project. There is also an option of doing a certificate in
leadership and management. This requires the completion of a third assignment,
Developing and Leading Teams to achieve organisational objectives.
Transformational Leadership
9th September 2015
Topic areas include transformational leadership, situational leadership and the leader
and social and emotional intelligence and Goleman’s Repertoire. We also explore
modern theories of motivation using career values, which are used later in coaching
and will highlight exactly what the top six drivers are for the delegates and their
reports. We evaluate “Primal Leadership” and the evidence that suggests where
leaders are positive and emotionally intelligent it leads to increased performance in
their business teams.
Leading with NLP
22nd September 2015
NLP is about modelling excellence. The founders of Neuro linguistic Programming
developed a series of models and techniques, which can be used to enhance
communication by appreciating that we all have different models of reality. Themes
we will cover include; rapport, favoured internal representational systems. We look at
how to choose our mood and techniques for having the best impact on those around
us at work. We learn how to create a mood in the team, which breeds a ‘can-do’
attitude.
We learn to use language effectively, which is essential when introducing change.
Senior people tend to be more abstract and operational people use more detail. The
manager needs to communicate with both!
We debate the ethics values and beliefs held by effective people and their impact on
our attitude and approach to people development.
Leading Change
9th October 2015
This workshop shifts perceptions about change, which is, after all, an inevitable
ingredient of modern life and essential to be competitive.
This workshop will get delegates to think about how they can positively manage
themselves and others in order for change to be seen in as positive light as possible.
We can order people to change. We can bully, manipulate, coerce and plead. Or we
can inspire! This session focuses less on big words and more on tactics and strategies
to get team members on board. The ultimate challenge in life is not merely how
awesome you can be, but how many people you can take with you!
Our focus is on understanding our comfort zones and how the unconscious controls
them in order that we can appreciate how difficult it is for team members and some
team leaders to accept change. We also reinforce this with
the importance for the leader being personally responsible and having self-awareness
and empathy.
We cover topics such as changing rooms, culture, learning organisations PEST to
understand the ‘business environment and Kotter’s 8 steps to effective change and
force field analysis to take people with you.
Support Day
23rd October 2015
This one-day event has been designed to allow you some time to work on your first
assignment and discuss your business improvement project.
Coaching
12th November 2015
This workshop teaches delegates how to inspire those around them to see in
themselves new possibilities and choices. Growing those around you and creating a
‘can do mentality’ are crucial facets of modern day leadership.
The workshop is designed to trigger delegates into seeing coaching as a means of
maximising the potential of those around them.
Coaching can transform your leadership style, enabling you to be more peoplecentred. This is of massive benefit to the manager, their team and business results.
The workshop includes opportunities to practice the art of coaching. We also focus on
the ‘Being There’. Managers often find it very easy to become pre-occupied with
meetings and emails. We aim to prove that building relationships is, dare we say,
even more important than sending emails!
Delegates start from the position of self-mastery (to give them credibility) and then
learn to develop questioning techniques that encourage staff to take responsibility
and ownership.
Performance management is integral to the content. Under-performance must and
can be tackled and high performers will be grown further.
Key themes include The GROW Model, use of career values to elicit motivational
drivers, questioning techniques to elicit coachees objectives, language to read
between the lines of what they are saying and do they have the will and motivation to
commit to action.
Brilliant Leadership
2nd December 2015
This workshop delves into areas of personal responsibility. Taking charge of your-self
is key to effective leadership, we focus on how to take personal responsibility and
develop it in their teams.
Where does the energy in a team come from? We explore the concept of entropy and
how it applies to teams. We take a look at the leadership principles implied in the
Fish philosophy. Where do we get our self-belief from? How can we improve our belief
and confidence? We look at big goals and how to achieve them using the 5-step goal
setting process.
