Description

Irrespective of the field one is in, at any level, leading and managing a team is an art and science. Using collective wisdom of the team and that accessible to the team leads to increasing amount of success. However, to effectively lead a team, one needs to be mindful of the big picture as well as the details, the theory as well as the practice, the short term results as well as the long term development of people, the outcomes of the processes as well as the stability and improvement of process itself. The balancing act never ends and juggling with all the aspects simultaneously or doing justice to the entire system that consists of people, process, products and technology while creating a stream of results is what a leader is expected to do.

This course systematically coaches leaders at any levels in any fields (the instructor's experience is mainly from business organizations in manufacturing and supply chain management) to achieve the desired team performance or exceed it consistently.

The course is structured to discuss the theoretical foundations for any team activity namely

1) The purpose - i.e., the value proposition and what it means;

2) The system view consisting of people, process, product/service and technology;

3) The leadership processes;

4) The unique strengths or technical prowess.

The course further discusses how the behaviours of team members need to be managed for everyday operations through bridging principles (that connect theory with practice),

The course then discusses the processes and results in everyday operations.

The course discusses case examples to elaborate the potential use of learning.

Who this course is for:

Small business owners, team leaders, or supervisors. Anyone who plans to make improvements through teams.
Middle managers in factory, branch office, virtual environments or warehouse environments
Supervisors or team leaders in any work environments
Any managers who need to lead and manage a change or improvement through people
Coaches, consultants, facilitators or mentors
