Developing and Leading High Performing Organisations

Overview

This program is designed for middle to senior managers and executives. It provides the participants with the ability to establish business objectives and review organizational performance to meet those objectives. It also includes working with stakeholders to identify performance management and remuneration strategies to manage and reward performance.

The leadership program incorporates the five learning domains (Knowledge & Analysis, Application and Adaptation, Innovation and Value Creation, Social Intelligence and Ethics, & Learning to Learn) that are most relevant to leadership and management education for busy and senior executives. It uses the 70:20:10 approach (10% from formal learning and structured programs. 20% from feedback, mentoring, coaching, networks, and from observing and working with role models; and 70% from real life and on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving).

Those who attend all four sessions and complete all assessments successfully will receive a Certificate of Completion (with Merit if assessment marks are Distinction or High Distinction).

Participants who do not attend all four sessions or are not able to complete all three assessments successfully will receive a Certificate of Participation.
