Australian Leadership Skills Centre

The Self-Directed Leader Programme

 

Leadership and self-leadership are universally important throughout all parts of the organisation and for all staff members. The Self-Directed Leader Programme recognises that leadership is for everyone, and thus has been designed for all - from managers, leaders, mentors and influencers, to team members and all staff at every level of the organisation. The focus of this programme is self-development, self-awareness and self-leadership.  The programme develops resilience, self-management and motivation of individual participants, and helps individuals harness their own leadership potential and enhance these in their interactions with others.  

​

While the focus is on the self, the programme is also perfectly suited to be delivered to work teams or to teams and groups who regularly interact and collaborate as a team development programme.  Through a supportive group environment, it brings the team or group together, and develops an energised, motivated and positive culture in teams and organisations.

​

The underlying philosophy is that the understanding that self-awareness is the cornerstone of self-development.  Through self-awareness, we can develop our leadership, communication, conflict management, motivation and emotional intelligence skills.  Undertaking this process in a team environment enables team members to support each other in this activity, and also increases team members' own awareness and understanding of each other.

​

This programme has been developed to create a highly collaborative and exploratory environment for participants which allows individuals and teams to explore new perspectives and concepts in a supportive manner. The emphasis is on raising self awareness and enabling self development through self reflection, collaboration and sharing ideas.

• Self-awareness and self-leadership
