Team Leader Essentials PLUS

COURSE CONTENT

This course combines Leadership Essentials PLUS and Having Difficult Conversations.

Not a pre-requisite, however this workshop builds on the Leadership Essentials workshop, exploring in further detail the DISC behaviour and communication strategies and includes an individual DISC assessment.

DISC is an internationally recognised and validated personal assessment tool used to improve work productivity, teamwork and communication. It is non-judgemental and helps people discuss their behavioural differences.

All participants will undertake a 15-minute online assessment prior attending and will be provided with a detailed report about their personality and behavioural styles.

One of the major causes of workplace issues is the tendency to avoid difficult conversations or providing others with constructive criticism/negative feedback. This workshop aims to provide supervisors, managers and leaders with the knowledge and skills to have difficult conversations in the workplace. 

Using personalised DISC profiles, participants will increase their self awareness and understanding of how others perceive them to improve their communication in the workplace.
