Executive Leadership Skills
For too long the notion of the ‘tough executive’ has existed across organisations both large and small. The concept of the ‘nice’ executive was seen to be weak and ultimately doomed to failure – in other words, nice guys finish last.
Well, research by Christine Porath at Georgetown University shows those
who display aggressive, tough behaviours are the ones most likely to fail.
The reason for this? When the chips are down, no-one has their back.
This course is not about how to run a business, we know you know how to do that. This is about developing the skills of human leadership.

TOXIC WORKPLACE BEHAVIOURS TO STOP NORMALISING
Since the 1950s a great many toxic workplace behaviours have become normalised in our organisations, but their effect is far more detrimental than we realise.
Take an in depth look at these toxic workplace behaviours and create strategies for minimising and then eradicating them over time.
Replace those behaviours with human leadership behaviours that really work.
TRUST AND RADICAL CANDOUR
Despite the huge benefits of human leadership, there are going to be occasions when you still need to have difficult conversations. The trick is to identify what you want the
outcome of those conversations to be.
The key to true radical candour is trust and psychological safety – the notion of being comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you must have these conversations, your people need to know you’re not doing this just to tear them down, you’re doing this to lift them up.
