Leadership Development for Life

PRESENTATION

This is the flagship programme of the Odyssey Group. It is a highly intensive and deep investigation of the behavioural aspects of leadership from a personal perspective. It is residential and demands that people step significantly out of their comfort zones and face the reality of what truly effective leadership means.

Development at the edge!

Combining global research, latest leadership thinking, the best of the traditional and a deep investigation of our own leadership preferences and behaviours, this Experience is high impact, fast moving and Up Close & Personal! With case studies, theory input sessions, personal profiling, exercises and discussion groups the programme challenges (and reinforces) fundamental beliefs and established practices.

Ground-breaking approach

This programme has previously been described as “not being available on the open market’ now it is! Investigating the theory and delivery of transformational leadership, leadership styles, focus and approaches. Motivational, behavioural and communication profiling, emotional intelligence and accelerated performance management, blended with visionary leadership, the bad habits of management, purposeful management and the ‘hidden secrets’ of employee engagement this is a ‘leadership development experience of a lifetime’.

Creating a ‘defining moment in time’ that managers will use as an anchor point for unparalleled success and growth. Described by others as Pragmatic, Real World. Intense, Enjoyable, Stimulating, Hard Work and Invigorating, the learning Experience takes people significantly outside their comfort zones and all content has been proven to work. Facilitated rather than trained, we have no right answers! Only a raft of tools, concepts and ideas that can be used situationally and developmentally to support managers in their drive for ‘exemplary leadership’ and operational excellence.

Not-to-be-missed development opportunity

Can be designed specifically to meet your own cultural and operating needs, it is a ‘development experience’ not to be missed.

All Odyssey Alumni will have access to a unique and reinforcing development zone on the Odyssey Group website, providing them with a virtual network and leadership coaching for life!

Experience Leadership will provide comprehensive capability reporting and management team profiling for your organisation at no additional cost.

We can tailor it to suit your particular needs including extending it to become an even more substantial learning experience co facilitated by your own Senior Team or other Development Professionals.

There are four fundamental and underpinning principles to the programme:

-that the right of leadership is not granted with authority
-that understanding the impact we have on others and influencing change
through our own behaviour is the beginning
-that there is an absolute need for effective leaders to enage emotionally
and intellectually with the people they work with and are responsible for
-that exemplary leadership is concerned with creating freedom not control
