Consistent needs in Leadership Development
For many of the most critical leadership and personal effectiveness skills, NoLimits has developed consistent best practices approaches that are applicable for multiple clients. These interactive learning programs are a great way of building the essential skills that every manager and leader needs.
Management
Skills
Most often Management Skills development is appropriate for new people managers, perhaps with little or no prior leadership skills training.
Opportunities identified for them are primarily people management tools and soft skills with a key emphasis of moving away from the "doer" role to the 'leading' or 'managing' role.
The most consistent key learning outcomes for managers are:
-
Understand what drives the behaviors and preferences of their personal style
-
Understand what drives the behaviors and preferences of their people's personal objectives
-
Know how to set and achieve actionable goals for self and team
-
Create the bigger picture vision to engage and motivate the team
-
Delegate, give feedback and coach effectively
-
Planning and prioritizing for yourself and team
Leadership Skills

BEST PRACTICE METHODOLOGY
One of the most powerful models organisations can deploy to establish long term leadership behavioral change is a modular approach combined with opportunities to practice skills, share learning and receive coaching on challenges and issues that arise.
We recommend the Action Learning Approach with learning modules supported by Action Learning Coaching and project work using relevant case studies and real world projects that deliver on organisational goals and objectives. Details as follows:
-
Establish cohort groups for training modules: For leaders of leaders, create smaller peer groups. For first-line leaders, larger groups are possible.
-
Gather pre and post 360 feedback.
-
Conduct a series of modular leadership development workshops aligned to the Competencies of Leadership over a period of around 6 to 12 months, focused on your assessment of the most critical competencies first and using facilitated experiential learning of leadership tools and techniques with tailored case studies and exercises.
-
Create Action Learning Teams (ALT) (we recommend teams with around 8-12 participants per team from across the entire participant group) and develop and assign real world leadership projects to each team. (For example: Creating Engagement; Establishing Successful Recognition; Cross Department Collaboration; Building a Culture of Innovation; Developing Leadership Competencies; etc.)
-
Participant Surgeries: Transfer the skills of best practice knowledge sharing and group coaching to the participants and hold regular participant cohort group coaching sessions, where the participants are facilitated in coaching each other to solve challenges and share best practices and learning examples. We will assign an Action Learning coach to each cohort, for a package of group coaching, ensuring continuous on the job learning, driving the application of the new leadership skills and ensuring business results. Research has shown that this approach ensures the fast transfer of learning into the workplace.
