Leadership Psychology Program
Leadership success is made up of 20% skill & 80% psychology
"Knowing how to lead people is one step, but understanding the psychology behind how and why people behave the way they do allows you to set up an environment where people lead themselves" ~ Niomi Hurley
People often mistake management and supervision for leadership. A great leader is more of a guide in an environment where people are able to manage and supervise themselves while displaying desired behaviours because they want to, rather than being told that they have to.
By tapping into the mountains of research being conducted into social and behavioral psychology over the years, this 8 week program will give you information, hints, tips and tools on elements of leadership psychology that will allow you to better understand and influence the people around you, especially those in your team.
True leadership does not just come from leading a team of people effectively, it is about influencing at all levels and in all directions of the organisation, club or group you are involved in. It is about setting a standard that others aspire to and creating an environment that encourages them to get there.
This program has been designed for leaders at all levels. Those who are looking for self growth and development, those who have recently been promoted and also those who have long been in management and supervisor roles and just want to make their job easier by minimising the ‘people problems’ that they face day to day.
The content delivered in this program will cover:
- subconscious drivers that result in why people behave the way that they do
- recognising your own triggers and how that affects your interactions with others
- how to predict the behaviour of those around you and influence effective change
- using proven psychological theories to modify behaviours and create better outcomes
- the development of psychological contracts and predetermined expectations in others
- subconscious priming and biases that can be harnessed for maximum influence
- why people behave differently alone compared to when in groups and how to harness that group think power
