Sircle appointed Carla Miller Training to design and deliver a bespoke management development programme for 4 high potential leaders over a 5 month period. They wanted to ensure core skills were covered, that the content was applicable to the working environment and that it was suitable for participants with a wide range of management experience.
Content:
The programme included a day together in-person laying the foundations for the programme, four skills-based virtual workshops and 1:1 coaching for each participant. Each session included relevant models and tools, insights, discussion, practical application, reflection and practising new skills.
We covered:
– Leadership Styles and Models
– Personal Leadership Brand
– Time Management
– Courageous Conversations
– Delegation Skills
– Effective Feedback
– Setting Expectations and Building Accountability
– Coaching and Motivating Your Team
Impact:
“The programme has provided me with plenty of tools that I can use personally and share with my project managers. I found the feedback session particularly useful and have been regularly applying the principles and models we learned.”
“Throughout the sessions, we explored a wide range of topics through practical examples and discussions, which helped me gain clarity on how I see myself as a manager and the type of leader I want to be. I learned how to better prepare for challenging situations, such as important meetings, by using practical tips and adapting my communication approach, while also developing a clearer understanding of the mistakes I make when delegating and prioritising tasks. We explored different approaches to giving feedback and coaching, with a focus on fostering responsibility rather than rescue, and I strengthened my mindset around team hierarchy by more clearly defining roles and expected responsibilities.”
“I have already started to use tools/processes such as a clear briefing template to help delegate tasks, COIN and COILED to give effective feedback, and also look to use RACI to enhance accountability.
Participant Feedback:
