Balancing high performance and hard work with humaneness is essential if you want to ensure your organisation - and employees - are at peak performance. This new style of management is called managing without power.
This course focuses on helping managers and leaders unlearn the unconscious use of power and nurture high-performing, inclusive teams through human leadership. You’ll learn how to move away from promoting ‘survival of the nicest’ and ‘survival of the toughest’ cultures and consciously create an environment in which you’re actively investing in your teams.
By the end of the session, you’ll have learned how to implement techniques that will foster productivity, reduce employee burnout, and increase talent attraction and retention. Above all, you’ll leave knowing what it takes to build a truly diverse and inclusive culture built on trust and intrinsic motivation.
This Managing Without Power course is available as a private session, and will be tailored to your needs. The most common set-ups are:
For management teams or groups of leaders: one or two days face-to-face with a focus on building organizations that balance a high bar for performance with humane leadership. This option is very suitable for management off-sites.
For groups of managers: two or three days face-to-face, focusing on the five brilliant basics of management and building high-performing teams.
For individual managers or leaders: a custom journey of five half-days, one-to-one online, with practical assignments in between each session so that you can apply the principles of Managing Without Power within your own team or organization.
