The
Insights for Emerging Leaders program is complementary to the
Insights Transformational Leadership (ITL) program. Together these
2 programs provide an extensive and evolving leadership development
pathway. Both programs are based on the Insights Discovery system.
The ITL program includes a separate preference assessment and adds
capability assessments. Together these two programs promote a common
language and reinforce concepts throughout the leadership development
life cycle.
The Insights for Emerging Leaders program is a series of
workshops that builds on the suite of Insights Discovery learning
solutions.
Designed for people considering moving into their first leadership
role through to participants currently holding supervisory to
mid-manager level positions, these workshops are delivered as an
in-house program or through public programs.
Each workshop is designed to build core
people management skills. The overriding focus is the transfer
of the knowledge to practical application in the workplace.
The public offering is a series of 6 half day sessions. Each module
looks at one aspect of leadership that is relevant to people
considering moving into their first leadership role through to
participants currently holding supervisory to mid-manager level
positions.
2010 Insights for Emerging Leaders
Series – Session Details
March 25th: Authenticity and Assertiveness
In the Authenticity and Assertiveness module
participants are encouraged to be more aware of their thoughts,
feelings, and emotions, and to practice engaging in direct, honest
communications with others.
Assertiveness is accepting your rights
as appropriate, and being willing to engage with others. Demonstrating
authenticity helps to build critical relationships, and enables
leaders to develop the self confidence and assertiveness that is
required for success in leadership roles.
April 29th: Giving and
Receiving Feedback
The Giving and Receiving Feedback module examines the
approach leaders take to enhance staff performance. This session will
focus on how leaders facilitate staff development through their skills
in delivering feedback and using a coach approach. The Insights ‘D4’
data based feedback model is designed to maximize the chance that both
acknowledging and developmental feedback is ‘let in’. Until this
happens, and we are really heard by the other person, there is no
possibility of reflection or changed behaviour. Exploring and
practicing this model also helps participants to learn how to ask for
feedback for their own leadership development.
May 27th:
Managing Time / Managing Life
The Managing Time / Managing Life module encourages leaders
to take a disciplined approach to managing their time and maintaining
a healthy work/life balance for themselves and their teams. The
Insights approach combines the power of well-grounded, traditional
best practices with the self-knowledge gained through an understanding
of individual preferences. This session explores practical strategies
and models for optimal success in finding the right balance.
June 24th: Understanding
Team Culture
The Understanding Team Culture module explores team diversity,
and how to assess the current culture being expressed by a team. This
session focuses on how you naturally contribute to teams through your
preferences and gifts. Understanding how to identify and work with
your team’s culture will allow you to be more open to sharing and
using your strengths. Participants will develop awareness of a
team’s unique dynamics and learn how to positively influence team
success.
September 23rd: Effective Communication
The Effective Communication module builds leaders’ capabilities
in connecting with people of diverse communication needs. Leaders’
success will depend largely on the effectiveness of their
communications. Participants will identify strategies, practice key
skills, and learn practical models for enhancing the quality of their
day to day conversations.
October 28th: Insightful Goals
The
Insightful Goals module explores the requirement for leaders to be
outcome focused.
Being able to clarify goals, move people to action, and build a shared
sense of achievement, are critical leadership capabilities.
Participants discover how to identify and establish goals that are
meaningful, while learning how to create detailed plans that move
those goals from ideas to accomplishments.

The Insights Transformational Leadership (ITL) Program
is intended for managers and leaders who want to experience
a
robust, in-depth,
leadership program
that will give immediate application and prepare them and their
organizations for long-term success.
This intensive program covers eight dimensions of leadership and is
offered over a 12-month
period.
Each workshop and the action learning assignments
reinforce the truly transformational approach to learning acquisition
and transfer.
Learners will engage with our two
unique and complementary learning systems: Insights Discovery, which
explores preferences; and Insights Navigator, which explores
capabilities.
Based on our groundbreaking work with many organizations in both
public and private sectors, the ITL model is positioned to help
leaders
make improvements in areas of challenge or stretch. However, the
primary focus is on areas of strength, and how to leverage that
capacity further. To achieve this goal, action-based learning,
self-study, and collaborative group work are integral components to
the success of the participants, and the program.

The ITL
Faculty are seasoned leadership development experts and practitioners
and include Joyce Gwilliam,
Rick Thomas,
Anne Bishop, Kim White
and
Connie Phenix.
Collectively they
bring
50+ years of leadership experience and education to the learning
environment. We are dedicated to establishing a stimulating learning
environment and as such we commit to a strong facilitator-participant
ratio.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
The
Insights coaching model recognizes and celebrates the fact that each
person in an organization is unique, with different styles, needs and
expectations. In these differences are great strengths, but how do we
recognize and uncover these strengths to identify and remove the
barriers that block us from reaching our potential?
How is
this achieved?
Our
coaches utilize the Insights Profiles participants receive during
their programs. By building on the learning achieved in
the workshop setting, the coach can take the participant to a deeper
level that anchors the learning and moves the participant to positive,
measurable action.
What is the outcome?
While client outcomes are uniquely defined and
determine the coaching objectives, our clients consistently report
being aligned purposefully with core values and vision leading to
right practical action.
The benefits of coaching include: improving leadership
development / succession planning and improving retention rates. These
two benefits are significantly correlated to improvements in market
performance as measured by self reports in the areas of revenue
growth, market share, profitability and customer satisfaction. (AMA:
Coaching, A Global Study of Successful Practices, 2008).
