The 10 Dimensions of Effective Leadership

The 10 Dimensions of Effective Leadership

The 10 Dimensions of Effective Leadership is a Leadership Course designed for seasoned leaders to increase their effectiveness in guiding their people through the accelerating pace of change and disruption.

The course focusses on developing a deep understanding of yourself, your strengths and opportunities to positively impact your team performance and culture. With a strong focus on leadership agility and positive impact on your followers, you learn how to enhance the 10 most impactful dimensions of your leadership.

The learning experience is built around the leadership style of each individual attendee, so participating leaders will learn how to make the most of their own levels of Intensity, Assertiveness, Risk Tolerance, Adaptability, Decision Making style, Collaboration, Social Awareness and Empathy, Openness to build Authenticity and their own intrinsic motivators as well as developing awareness around motivation and engagement of the team.

This is most suited for experienced leaders looking ahead to lead their teams through the VUCA environment, and is a natural next step from our existing Leadership Development course.  However, this course will accelerate the development of emerging leaders and the completion of the Leadership Development course is not a prerequisite.

The 10 Dimensions of Effective Leadership course is available now throughout Australia including Brisbane, Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

The content centered around what we need to be effective leaders was excellent and I believe it will assist me as I further develop in this area.

"This is an excellent course. To be honest, I would not change a thing."

Richard also clearly had knowledge of our company, however I felt was very successful in integrated that knowledge in to his presentation in a way that was meaningful and linked the course to our particular situation. It was also fantastic that Richard has real world experience in management staff and spoke about his own experience to assist our understanding of what we could achieve."


"The course covered the areas of importance relevant to our company and current staff."

-Adelaide Fuel Distributors


 

"At the time some of the processes and exercises felt slow, but upon reflection it allowed enough time for information to sink in. Practicing scenarios in class of learned styles was very helpful as it allowed the ability to utilise those styles immediately in the the workplace, so more of that could be helpful."


-Designed To Stick


 

"I found learning about the different management styles very useful. Understanding how to approach and handle different circumstances that may pop up during work hours and during personal events."


 "Richard was great in changing the course on the run to suit what the students needs were , I needed some information on conflict resolution and it was implemented very well and I felt that it gave the course a more personal touch rather then read the book and answer the question type course . Loved the entire course and would love to do more of this type training."


"Ann was very much in touch with the delivery material, gave ample examples of scenarios that related to the subject, very good at engaging the audience including those who were less inclined to participate. Also recommended good reads that were relevant to good management."


"I have a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses and a better understanding who my people are in the team. The four fundamentals discussed in learning to adapt, telling, participate and delegating."


-JJ Richards and Sons Pty Ltd


 

"The interactive and enthusiasm of the trainer made the session more enjoyable and entertaining; good approach to ensure participation from the trainees. Good technique of learning by having different ways of teaching the same topic."


-Arcare Pty Ltd


 

"I thoroughly enjoyed delving deeply into the four profiles and gaining an insight into the thought processes of people with a different profile to myself, which helped me to identify possible reasons for why there has been a disconnect at times with staff that have a very different profile to myself. Anne was fantastic at encouraging specific examples/current issues with staff to workshop in order to identify the barriers to effective communication/outcomes and what different approaches exist that might have more of a win/win result. Anne is one of the best facilitators I've had for a course like this. I found it useful that she could talk from her own experiences, rather than just being a trainer teaching course content, and she had an excellent way of drawing the answers out of people/continuing to re-frame things until we were able to provide her with the answers/solutions, rather than just telling us them (i.e. a better approach to a situation that had been brought up). Anne's easy going and enthusiastic delivery kept the content interesting and engaging, never once being perturbed by the 'less than enthusiastic' attendees. Thanks Anne, I got stacks out of the training!!!"


-JJ Richards and Sons Pty Ltd


 

"Came into this course wanting to fine tune a few area's. Derrick was able to really hone in to those areas and gave me some great insight and knowledge and I came away from the training feeling a lot my confident and structured in my role. Thank you for the last 2 days Derrick, this has been a fantastic opportunity for me and for Jumbo."


-Jumbo


 

"Trainer was knowledgeable and was able to adapt the learning into practical environment."


-HammondCare


 

"Trainer did a great job. It was a small group which made it great for interaction and learning."


-Individual Course Participant

-Legal Aid QLD


 

"Mark, the trainer was very knowledgeable and was very helpful through out the course."


-Total Surveying Solutions Pty Ltd


 

"I found the Profiling helpful. I obviously have a lot more to do and learn, but it gave me a good starting point."


-Walinga Australia Pty Ltd Tas Customvac Australia


 

"Jo was great, highly engaging and brought the training to life. I found the course overall very interesting and interactive and I came away with a lot to think about in terms of leadership and areas I can work on. Would fully recommend (and have already to others in my business).


-B & K Consulting (Aust) Pty Limited


 

"Brilliant course and with excellent content and delivered exceptionally by Joe."


-Right Media

The George Institute for Global Health

 

"The core material for the course was excellent and the concepts introduced were easy to understand and rationalize. I felt the handbook was a good stand alone resource."

Riverland Group

 

"Most useful was learning about leadership styles and emotional intelligence."

"This course exceeded my expectations. I found it quite relevant and many times insightful."

QML Pathology

 

"The highlights of the training were that it pointed out how to identify opportunities to change, grow and improve in many fields. It showed us, by questioning and listening to everyone with a positive attitude, answers come from the least likely places. We learned about leadership and leadership characteristics. It showed us how to work effectively with and the dos and don’ts of interacting with different personality styles. It showed us how to effectively give feedback and the engagement of groups. We were shown how to overcome generational differences, made aware of listening mistakes that are made and shown the skills of active listening. The training also highlighted that with strong leadership and goals, clear rolls and responsibilities, effective policies and procedures, and team credibility, these 4 elements together made up a high performance team."

 

"If I could give Gil 11/10 I would. I have had trouble with training courses in the past when I quickly become disinterested and stop paying attention. Gil kept me focused and engaged the whole time and kept the energy of the room high and engaged."

The trainer is very knowledgeable and experienced. She always make suggestion or refer to possible scenario and real life example to better understand the theories that had been presented. She encourage and help students to develop confidence and reinforce the skill set that just learned with activities. It was a excellent environment with the group participating and sharing their experience. Student manual content is simple and easy to understand. Some colour content and graphical presentation may improve reading interest. Great job and keep up the work.
