outcomes
Outcomes will include consideration of:
the ‘art of leadership’: understanding the impact of personality on every aspect of an organisation and its people; the need to mix strengths and build teams; the balance between being decisive and inclusive; dealing with stress; and maintaining objectives.
the application of suggested strategic planning tools: to include the identification of sources of strength and vulnerability; defining long-term objectives and planning ‘pull’; layering decision-making to ensure contact and appropriate span of control; the need to provide space for strategic thinking.
a mechanism for examining requirements and then extracting tasks: understanding and interpreting requirements; taking account of the needs of inter-related organisations; identifying implications; and developing clearly defined tasks.
debate between central control and distributed authority; how to react in reaction to the unexpected through delegation and empowerment: the context in a fast-moving environment; inculcating mutual trust and understanding in subordinates.
the impact of culture and morality on decision-making: understanding the human dimension; the balance between achieving objectives and acting appropriately; operating in a multinational environment and capitalising on strengths; the values and standards of organisations.
