Objectives and takeaways
The key resource of any organisation is its people: leaders need to drive individual and organisational performance by motivating and directing the people in their teams and engaging them around company vision. People need to understand what their organisation is trying to do; they need to feel valued and valuable, to have the support and encouragement to put their ideas forward and to feel confident working in an environment where they can develop by using their skills, strengths and initiative.
By the end of the workshop, you will have enhanced skills and awareness across five key areas: communicating vision and direction, connecting individuals to their teams, building individual and team performance, inspiring trust and collaboration, and building commitment. We do this by using a practical and authoritative leadership model which will make a real difference to the way you lead your department: 5C Leadership

1 context
shared vision
context
‘Context’ is the identity and purpose of the organisation. ‘Who are we’? ‘What do we care about’? ‘What are we trying to achieve? ‘What’s the vision’?
Context is how leaders create a sense of vision, identity and purpose in their teams.
2 connection
sharing ambition
connection
Organizations which create connection get more from and give more to their people: they keep them longer, use them better and focus their collective energy on realising company vision.
Leaders create connection in the way they link targets to vision.
3 contribution
developing performance
contribution
Successful approaches to developing performance strike the right balance between the aspirations and potential of employees and the goals of the organisation.
Leaders build performance through continuous feedback and development.
4 collaboration
the basis of teamwork
collaboration
Trust is the key to getting teams to work better both between themselves and across the organisation. Team members who trust one another are not going to waste time and energy by hiding problems and passing blame.
Leaders build trust and collaboration.
5 commitment
the basis of results
commitment
The reason for having a great team is to get great results. That only happens when there is real clarity about the target and real commitment to doing everything possible to reach it.
