Facilitated leadership development programmes

“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”

BlueSky Experiences’ facilitated leadership development programmes will equip your managers and team leaders with the skills required to drive forward your organisation with vision and purpose.

Our professional course designers and facilitators understand that strong leadership is critical to the success of any business or team, and that effective, confident leaders will empower your team to realise their objectives.

However, we also recognise that each client has different requirements of facilitated leadership development. That’s why we deliver customised leadership development geared to developing the values, behaviours and expectations that will help your team leaders function effectively in your specific business environment.

Using a variety of proven techniques, selected for their relevance to your training needs, our facilitated team leadership programmes focus on the individual performance of the leader, or potential leader. Our facilitators will evaluate the ways in which this performance impacts upon the team and ultimately on your business results, providing constructive feedback to both the participants and their employers.

Experiential leadership development and training at BlueSky

Our experiential leadership development courses are the ideal for existing and potential leaders who want to improve their ability to influence strategies and leadership skills.

Key components of our Leadership Development Programmes

Directors, managers and team leaders require a wide-ranging skill set, including:

• Effective communication skills – to put ideas across clearly and sell concepts convincingly.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills – to be able to relate to colleagues and members of your team, and understand what makes them tick.
• Excellent motivational skills – to get the best out of each team member.

The experiential leadership development and training techniques in our facilitated team leadership programmes work on the above core skills, and boost the performance and effectiveness of your team leaders by enhancing their self-awareness, improving their influencing skills and developing their coaching potential.

Further key areas covered during our leadership training are:

• Increasing awareness of various leadership styles and experimenting with different styles to broaden personal options.
• Developing the clearest and most effective communication styles.
• Refining interpersonal skills, especially in relation to communication, feedback and conflict resolution.
• Role-modelling, self-management, interdependence and followership behaviour.
• Using peer group experience and feedback to explore personal style and capacity.
