Leadership - going for goals

CPD ref: C-108311

Description

Leadership and goal setting are closely intertwined concepts. We know that effective leaders play a crucial role in defining, communicating, and achieving organizational goals within practice. Goals and a positive mindset can help an individual and their teams to achieve successful outcomes. Furthermore, the need for motivation as a fuel to propel individuals towards their goals is important in contributing to their overall well-being and personal growth. But what makes an effective leader? This discussion workshop will detail the principles of successful leadership and the similarities that can be seen in good leaders with delegates invited to discuss real life examples from the workplace. There are many researched models available that explain different types of leadership styles but for the purpose of this discussion workshop, we will be focussing on Daniel Goleman’s six. As well as a delve into these six types in detail, delegates will have the opportunity to reflect on their own leadership styles and apply these with example case scenarios.
