We direct our energy towards our objectives, towards our customers, towards achieving the organisation’s vision and strategic objectives. People for Success’ Authentic Leadership Program supports managers by providing the practical tools, capabilities, and the inspiration necessary to build agile, high-performance teams. By doing this, we help organisations gain competitive advantage in an environment where market forces are ever-changing and great leadership is essential.

Authentic Leaders continually work on deepening their self-awareness. This builds trust with their people and inspires them to give their best.

Authentic Leaders look after themselves, their team and organisation by striking a healthy balance between self-interest and the common good.

When we are led by authentic leaders we bring our whole selves to work.

Self-Awareness

Stay Balanced

The Authentic Leadership Program has the potential to align your organisation’s culture with your vision and strategic objectives. The program has therefore been designed for all levels of leadership. Opening the program to all leaders creates an internal leadership community that shares a common language and encourages accountability for behaviours and results.

The Authentic Leadership program is customisable to your company values, leadership behaviours, industry, managers’ experience, budget, operational hours, and other specific requirements. It is ideal, but not essential, for managers to attend each module. Modules can be delivered on their own and tailored to suit your needs.

The Authentic Leadership Program is composed of four unique two-day modules. Each module is underpinned by our Authentic Leadership principles, and aligned with the leadership education framework of Leading Self, Leading Others, Leading Teams, and Leading Cultural Change. The program is designed to run one module every six to eight weeks with the option of being supported by executive coaching and work assignments from our online portal. The program is further supported by well researched and flexible methodology.

In addition to the four Authentic Leadership modules, we offer programs for leaders on:

“The Authentic Leadership Program embeds leadership development in real work; exploring the beliefs, values, and attitudes that underpin behaviour. We believe in the importance of measuring the impact of improvements on the business over time.”

-Kristyn Haywood, Founding Director, People for Success

We are passionate about embedding the learnings from The Authentic Leadership Program in your culture. We encourage this through our Leadership Online Portal and Executive Coaching.

The Authentic Leadership Online Portal is the perfect tool to translate learning from the training room to authentic leadership behaviours in the workplace. Between each module of the program, managers are encouraged to visit the online portal to complete practical leadership activities, access leadership tools, watch informative videos, and read inspirational articles.

We use a combination of self and 360° leadership assessments such as The Leadership Development Report, from the Barrett Values Centre, and the Leadership Impact Report, from Human Synergistics. The rich data from these reports assists managers to become more conscious of how their values, beliefs, thinking styles, preferences, and emotions result in their thinking and behaviour.

Approximately three months after the completion of The Authentic Leadership Program, the participants’ thinking and leadership behaviours are re-measured using the 360° leadership assessment. This captures the extent of development and the positive impact on the organisation’s culture, leadership style, and strategic objectives.

The Authentic Leadership Program includes the option of utilising executive coaching services. Coaching speeds up the learning process with honest feedback and expert support in a safe and confidential environment. With the use of 360° assessment tools, managers become conscious of their limiting behaviours whilst building upon their strengths.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAM

The final program in The Authentic Leadership Program guides leaders to successfully

implement the organisations’ strategic or operational change objectives. They will gain a deep

understanding of the 'invisible' aspects of change that have the power to undermine the

change effort and learn how to transform negative energy into positive contribution. The

program outlines how to manage a cultural alignment journey, tailored to the specific

organisation, to achieve minimal disruption and maximum employee commitment.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Participate in a simulation designed to experience the positive and negative impacts of change.

• Explore the external and internal forces that put pressure on the organisation to change its

strategies, structure, systems, culture and ways of interacting with customers.

• Recognise that successful cultural change programs are driven by leaders whose own vision and

values align with the organisation’s vision and values.

• Explore the stages of cultural alignment and the impact that strong leadership has on successful

implementation of business change programs.

• Recognise the impact that change has on team members and how their attitudes, either positive or

negative, affects customers and other stakeholders.

• Understand, through a respected change model, the stages of the emotional journey people follow

when confronted with new ways of operating and why ignoring this often leads to failure of the

change effort.

• ‘Frame’ (module two) conversations to help team members make positive meaning out of the

change and to communicate in a way that is both empathic and direct.

• Develop flexibility and personal resilience for change and help others do the same so they accept

and embrace new ways of working.

• Develop comprehensive cultural transformation and communication plans for guiding people

through change.
