LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
YOUR PATH TO RELATIONAL MASTERY
TRANSFORM YOUR LEADERSHIP
THE COURSE
The Clear Leadership course offers a unique environment to practice advanced communication skills for collaboration and partnership, introduces the foundational ability to lead learning conversations, and establishes a cornerstone to develop self-differentiation. Many leadership training experiences offer concepts or inspirational experiences that do not always translate to changed results in “the real world” after the conclusion of the program. Clear Leadership does. People who have participated in this training claim a profound shift in their personal and professional lives. It can be facilitated in virtual or in-person cohort environments.
TOOLS AND MINDSETS
Clear Leadership courses drill into the tools and mindsets required to build sustaining partnerships and make collaborative organizations work. Clear leadership is about creating clarity in every interaction and every group you are a part of. For clear leadership to be effective requires understanding the nature of experience and the reasons for the difficulty involved in getting people to tell the truth about their experience with one another.
Successful leaders understand that organizational success requires collaboration at all levels. Collaboration is no easy feat, however, as it hinges on clear, honest communications in the workplace. In complex, organizational structures, it is easy for misinformation to spread, causing communications to become overly cloudy and preventing employees from forming productive, full partnerships.
FEELING CLOUDY?
Clear Leadership course designer and author Gervase R Bushe calls cloudy communications interpersonal mush. The organizational impact of this toxic mush is not often recognized, and the source of remedy is rarely understood. Interpersonal mush needs to be clarified before true communication can take place, and the only way to accomplish this is through learning conversations – the building blocks for collaborative work systems. Clear Leadership provides leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to conduct learning conversations, cut through the mush, and sustain collaboration in the workplace.
MOVE FROM CLOUDY TO CLEAR
Clear Leadership teaches a set of skills that allows participants to:​
-
Ensure the people they lead feel fully engaged in real partnership with them, enhancing all aspects of team and organizational performance.
-
Create an inclusive environment where everyone can learn from the team’s collective experience.
-
Handle difficult conversations with ease and turn conflicts into positive learning experiences.
-
Lead in a way that creates full engagement, real alignment around decisions and full commitment to the team’s purpose.
-
These outcomes flow from an integrated combination of research, tested theory, and most importantly, a unique instructional method that moves people out of their comfort zone, learning to interact in ways they never have before and experience success in real interpersonal encounters (not role plays), making them much more able to take those skills back to the job.
