ZOP1003: Authentic Leadership

Program Overview

London Business School Professor Rob Goffee argues that too many individuals and organisations are caught up in the “four myths” of leadership – that everyone can be a leader. Leaders deliver business results, people who get to the top are leaders and leaders are great coaches. Instead, he argues, leaders need to be able to inspire and engage their followers, practice tough empathy, show some (selective) weakness and be prepared to challenge their own core beliefs.

Authentic Leadership is an inspiring and transformational three-day workshop which will challenge your own understanding of who you are as a leader and how you relate to those around you…with real issues, real expectations and real feedback on how you perform.

The methodology, developed by a team of AIM•UWA Business School Alliance consultants and faculty, has delivered outstanding results and changed individual and organisational lives.

Designed for

The program is designed to present clarity for executives and leaders on perceptions of their own behaviours and the ways in which they relate to their colleagues, peers, line managers and direct reports, and on their business in general. It is designed to work at a personal level and gives participants the opportunity to reflect on their own barriers to becoming an effective leader and creating change in their lives.

The program is recommended for any current or aspiring leader, executive managers, team leaders, and professional staff. Organisations will also benefit substantially - the program was initially developed to specifically target executive and management teams.
