on their own Leadership strengths and weaknesses from their own peer group

learning styles, making it easy to transfer the acquired skills back into the workplace

• Have a better understanding of their role as a Leader

• Look at their Leadership approach in practice – with analysis of strengths – and areas that require development

• Recognise the needs of a situation – and the type of Leadership action that can lead to success

• Practice Leadership techniques that enable them to contribute fully to help achieve the common task

• Formulate an action plan to implement back into the work situation

Aim• To give participants

the opportunity to understand the different approaches to Leadership in such a way as to make them more effective as a Leader, Colleague and Team Member

Approaches to Leadership

• Qualities Approach– Leaders are born

• Situational Approach– No such thing as a born

Leader

• Functional Approach– Leaders can be trained

Functional Approach

The functional approach to Leadership

focuses on what a Leader has to do to

achieve the TASK while supporting the

TEAM and the INDIVIDUALS within that

team.

The Three Circles

TM

Task

Team Individual

• All groups are different, even groups in the same organisation.

• However, all teams share some common needs, the needs of the task to be completed, the need for team cohesiveness and the needs which individuals bring with them into the workplace.

If a Leader is to get work done through others, they

must develop the individual, build and

maintain the team, whilst achieving the task.
