Leadership Development & Management Training

MODAL's underpinning philosophy is to work collaboratively with you to design a Leadership Development strategy that is tailored to the needs of your organisation and your leaders.

We do not have a one size fits all approach; the partnering design process ensures the inclusion of important elements such as your organisation's Vision, Purpose, Strategic Plan and Values, which are an integral part of the equation. This alignment, coupled with your organisation's internal expertise, systems and terminology ensures a practical engaging approach.

MODAL's action learning methodologies are then applied to bring to life a program of learning through a combination of interactive workshops, practical application and on the job coaching.

Whilst MODAL does not use an off the shelf approach, we do have access to a vast breadth and depth of leadership development experience, concepts, instruments and skill development techniques.

These "knowledge banks" are led and managed by our Communities of Practice that ensure we have a balance of "leading edge" as well as "tried and trusted" materials and methodologies.

Within the Leadership Community of Practice the key focus areas are:

The Leadership Mindset

Leadership mindset and style sets the overall tone for organisational culture and performance.

Strategies within the Leadership Mindset revolve around topics that include:

  • The impact of leadership on culture
  • Resilience
  • The impact of culture on performance
  • Self awareness and emotional intelligence
  • Personal vision and values
  • Doing the right work of your role

Developing Yourself

A key aspect of being a leader is taking responsibility for your own development.

Strategies within Developing Yourself build on the Leadership Mindset foundation integrating:

  • Self awareness and emotional intelligence
  • 360° feedback
  • Personal development plans
  • Coaching
  • Project based learning

Developing Other People

Noel M. Tichy, in his award winning book "The Leadership Engine", concludes that "...winning companies win because they have good leaders who nurture the development of other leaders at all levels of the organisation".

Strategies within Developing Other People include:

  • The learning cycle
  • Coaching and mentoring
  • Situational leadership
  • Leading teams
  • Goal setting, praising and redirecting
  • Giving and receiving feedback
  • Performance development
  • Humanistic and encouraging behaviours

Leading for Results

Stephen Covey's recent work "The Four Disciplines of Execution" has some clear messages for leaders regarding "getting things done".

Messages within Leading for Results build on the Leadership Mindset and Developing Other People, and include:

  • Goal setting and priorities
  • Accountability and responsibility
  • Engagement, disengagement and compliance
  • The achievement behaviour and culture
  • Establishing measures and monitoring them

Leading Change

Undoubtedly one of the most perplexing issues facing contemporary managers is leading, implementing and co-creating change.

Utilising experience and materials from around the globe, MODAL collaboratively designs strategies to develop leaders in terms of:

  • Co-creating change
  • Understanding the people side of change
  • Planning for change
