1. Become a Global and Local Leader - Global Leadership skills
   
   Even the most powerful people in the world get this essential skill wrong. When George W. Bush became President of the United States, he only knew about national issues and even struggled with the location of other countries. It is critical that today's successful global leaders need to correctly weight their local and global achievements.

   • Conducting a TOWS analysis on your local and global objectives.

2. Leading Change Throughout your Organisation


Whatever happened elsewhere in the world had little impact; it use to be 'us' and 'the others'. Now there has been a drastic change in this outlook. Senior Executives need to be ready to adapt to change at a moment's notice. Leading change is not about bringing in a change but it's about getting your people behind the change quickly with the least amount possible of disruption in productivity.



• Develop an understanding that change is a continued process that never stops.


• Set a communication plan for the change.

• Position the change as a positive opportunity for employees.


• Choose 'Change Agents' that will model the positive differences of the change.


• Build an effective feedback loop to improve further changes.





3. Meeting Stakeholder's Expectations


How many leaders fell on their swords because they failed to meet stakeholder expectations? It is critical that your senior executive team can identify different stakeholder expectations. By correctly prioritisng and weighing these expectations your team can position your communications more effectively. Your senior executive team will also learn how to change expectations that are not favorable to your organisation.



• Making emotional connections with your key stakeholders.


• Meeting expectations every time.


• Stakeholder behavioural profiling.


• Active listening skills - What?


• Changing expectations.


• Service Recovery - What to do when your service is below expectations?





4. Strategic Planning
   
   Strategic thinking involves thinking differently about what we do. Sometimes senior executives take short cuts- as something arises you respond with a quick decision. People must think while they act, not in a step-by-step way towards a known goal but in lateral ways. Strategic thinking combines the right brain's intuitive, creative and imaginative thought with the left brain's analytical and quantitative activity in to reach the desired end result.
   
   
   
   • Think ahead and think the big picture.
   
   
   • Become more proactive.
   
   
   • Understand the lifecycle of planning.
   
   
   • Focus on outputs/results.
   
   
   • Undertake long term planning and contingency planning.
   
   
   • Use experience to guide future action.
   
   
   • Identify characteristics of profi table and successful organisations.
   
   
   • Determine 'best practice' that can be incorporated into daily operations.
   
   
   • Implement risk management strategies throughout your organisation.
   
   



5. Behavioural Mapping and Role Positioning
   
   What is the difference between the thinking styles of Bob Hawke, Kevin Rudd, Mohammed Ali and John F Kennedy? Who knows for sure? All we know is that people build perceptions of people (right and wrong) based on their appearances and actions. It is critical for today's senior executives to ensure that the right perceptions are formed.
   
   
   
   • Linking governance and behaviours.
