Session 1: Challenges of 21st Century Leadership
– Leadership can be defined by a list of practices which create a leadership style
– Different leaders have a particular leadership style
– There is no one-best-way to lead: it depends on your industry, your position and your company culture
– Different countries have a distinct leadership style which reflects national culture
Session 2: Understanding Your Leadership Profile
– Leadership is all about behaviours and you can learn new behaviours
– Every leader has a profile, which includes both high and low scores
– High scores may not necessarily be good or low scores be bad
– Your LEA profile will reveal some blind spots in your self-perception
– Understanding your blind spots is a key to your leadership development
– Your leadership behaviours have an effect on others, which determines your leadership effectiveness
Session 3: Creating Your Personal Development Plan
– The “ideal” leadership profile depends on your present leadership role – you need to discuss your “role expectations”
– A process of reflection helps to identify barriers which are often long-standing
– Coaching is the best way of moving forward with your development discussion
– To grow as a leader you have to commit to a Personal Development Plan
– Action plans need to be written in SMART format and linked to practical assignments
– Additional 360 data (from other observers) will add a great deal to your development as a leader
Session 4: Building Your Strategic Capability
– Leaders have to be competent with management tasks as well as leadership qualities
– LEA research identifies “Strategic” as a key practice for effective leaders
– Strategy means having a long term view and a systems thinking model of problem solving
– Different countries have different profiles for leadership – understanding the differences increases cross-cultural cooperation

There are 22 leadership practices arranged into 6 clusters: Creating a vision, Developing followers, Implementing the vision, Following through, Achieving results, Team playing.
