(CLP) Programs

Appleton Greene corporate training programs are all process-driven. They are used as vehicles to implement tangible business processes within clients’ organizations, together with training, support and facilitation during the use of these processes. Corporate training programs are therefore implemented over a sustainable period of time, that is to say, between 1 year (incorporating 12 monthly workshops), and 4 years (incorporating 48 monthly workshops). Your program information guide will specify how long each program takes to complete. Each monthly workshop takes 6 hours to implement and can be undertaken either on the client’s premises, an Appleton Greene serviced office, or online via the internet. This enables clients to implement each part of their business process, before moving onto the next stage of the program and enables employees to plan their study time around their current work commitments. The result is far greater program benefit, over a more sustainable period of time and a significantly improved return on investment.

Appleton Greene uses standard and bespoke corporate training programs as vessels to transfer business process improvement knowledge into the heart of our clients’ organizations. Each individual program focuses upon the implementation of a specific business process, which enables clients to easily quantify their return on investment. There are hundreds of established Appleton Greene corporate training products now available to clients within customer services, e-business, finance, globalization, human resources, information technology, legal, management, marketing and production. It does not matter whether a client’s employees are located within one office, or an unlimited number of international offices, we can still bring them together to learn and implement specific business processes collectively. Our approach to global localization enables us to provide clients with a truly international service with that all important personal touch. Appleton Greene corporate training programs can be provided virtually or locally and they are all unique in that they individually focus upon a specific business function. All (CLP) programs are implemented over a sustainable period of time, usually between 1-4 years, incorporating 12-48 monthly workshops and professional support is consistently provided during this time by qualified learning providers and where appropriate, by Accredited Consultants.

Executive summary

Mind Leadership

Over the last fifty years, a slow-paced world has changed into a fast-paced world.

Leadership is, in essence, a “people” activity, cultivating good relationships and making people feel a part of something. At the core of a strategic network and high-performing organization is the value of visionary leadership.

Leadership Styles

Leadership styles influence organizational behavior, including employees’ acceptance of and adherence to organizational norms and values. Learn to select the most effective leadership style for a situation to plan, organize, and lead the company mission, goals, and environment. Leaders who obtain the best results do not rely on one style. Instead, they use several different techniques based on the situation. Adjust their approach to bring out the best in the people they lead. “The most effective leaders appear to exhibit a degree of versatility and flexibility that enables them to adapt their behavior to the changing and contradictory demands,” -Ralph Stogdill.

The Role and Habits of Ethical Leaders

Leaders are vital to influencing an organization’s culture and ethical posture. They assess risks and desire to achieve a favorable climate for organizational performance. Learn to positively impact ethical decision-making and the dimensions of organizational behavior and motivate acceptance and adherence to the organization’s norms, values, rules, and policies. View ethics holistically as a strategic component of the company’s ethical culture. Implement strategies to address and avoid misconduct, encourage professionalism, embrace and model positive workplace conduct, avoid brand damage, and drive proactive and reactive measures. Build trust of clients and partners to increase efficiency and productivity.

Traits Motives, Characteristics, and Behavior that Impact Leadership Effectiveness

Identify motives and general, relationship-related, and task-related personality traits of influential leaders related to success, task accomplishment, and satisfaction in work and personal life. Knowledge of the characteristics associated with leadership effectiveness helps select future leaders and helps identify meaningful development experiences to improve specific traits. The situation often influences which attribute will be the most important. For example, some believe leadership is about the person, and the quality of the individual, while others believe that leadership emerges from a specific situation.

Communication and Leadership

Communication is critical for organizational success and leadership effectiveness. Whether an organization is global or in a single country, improving communication begins with the leader’s willingness to articulate the organization’s vision and operation. Explore the significant communication elements and the types of organizational communication, measure leadership effectiveness to inform, inspire, anticipate and implement change, and motivate or influence behavior with internal and external stakeholders. Develop good communication skills and overcome barriers through constant practice and active feedback. Finally, develop a classic or contemporary approach to leadership.
