ABOUT THE PROGRAM

“We don’t have business problems, but we have people problems, and once the people problems are taken care of, most of the business problems get resolved automatically”

“If there was one thing you would like to change that makes your organization more productive, what would that be… attitude?! If people have a better attitude, then we have better quality.”

OUR DEVELOPMENT APPROACH

The program is a mixture of Training and Coaching components. The whole program is divided into 5 training modules and coaching sessions. Training modules are interactive sessions with active participation from trainees and cover practical real-life examples. Training programs give insight into different leadership components whereas coaching will help them to unlock their potential to maximize their own performance.

The program starts with profiling (e.g. Hogan Assessment) of the candidates, which gives them and the trainer a basic understanding of the strengths and improvement areas of the candidates. It is a long-term engagement from 3 to 6 months. We focus on sustaining change which ensures that trainees implement what they have learned in the sessions and also remove unwanted blocks in their minds.

Each program has 5 components to it

  1. Insight: To become conscious that there is something in them that needs to be changed
  2. Assessment: To know where they stand today
  3. Training: Get trained in the area where they scored less
  4. Application: Implementing the learning in real life
  5. Coaching: To break down all wrong beliefs

The whole program will be around 6-8 months durations. Modules training will done within the first 4-5 months. Two coaching sessions are covered during the first 4 months and the rest three coaching sessions are covered in the last 3 months of the program to ensure that what they learn, they are able to implement in the real life.

Module-1

The Foundation to the Leadership Skills

I normally call this module ZEROTH MODULE as this is the base of all that we will learn in this program. It has 4 components

  1. THE GOLDEN RULE: BEING ETHICAL
  2. THE WINNING SPIRIT AND SELF MOTIVATION
  3. DRILL-DOWN APPROACH
  4. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MANAGER AND A LEADER

You can study more in detail on the above content in the topic section. The first three components improve the basic skills and qualities of candidates and the last component (difference between manager and leader) gives them an eye-opening insight into what a good leader looks like and this sets the expectations of candidates for what changes they are going to bring after the program is over.

Module-2

Amplify your effectiveness with Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success

Why do smart people fail? Why do technically brilliant individuals have trouble managing others and collaborating with a team? What distinguishes great leaders from merely good ones?

It isn’t IQ or technical skills, says Daniel Goleman. It’s Emotional Intelligence: a group of five skills that enable the best leaders to maximize their own and their followers’ performance. The five components of EI are:

  1. Self-awareness
  2. Self-regulation
  3. Motivation
  4. Empathy
  5. Social skill

Module 4

Motivating your team members

Motivate people with more responsibility rather than money

If you ask your team, what needs to be done, everyone has the right answer, but they are not doing it. What is missing is motivation. Can we motivate people?

The answer is no. What we can do is inspire people to motivate themselves. Why? Because Motivation is an action (I can't act for you) and inspiration is thinking and thinking changes. It starts reflecting in the behavior, which is more lasting and many a time, permanent.

What we cover in this module:

  • Why do people get de-motivated and who and what motivates them.
  • Traditional methods used to motivate and why they are not so useful
  • Demotivating factors are different from the factor which motivates them
  • Motivate people with more responsibility rather than money
