(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

Value-Based Leadership Performance

Value-Based Leadership Performance is something that creates strong results over time.

Background

Some major changes are taking place in the leadership frame. In the professional arena as the sports arena. We’ll go from a group thinking concept to one that put individual values like responsibility, honesty, and accountability as key factors. The future will be much more individual-focused than group or team-focused.

Earlier leadership teachings focused more on instructive top-down management. More and more people in leadership positions today, are aware of the positive outcome of being a value-based leader and how it can affect themselves and the people they lead.

You must follow a boss because of position. With strict rules in force and serious consequences for not following the system. Assuming most people can’t think for themselves.

It’s all about change.

From team-driven leadership to more focus on the individual. To be able to perform at a higher level – require increased energy and the ability to put people in a state – which comes from the individual. The youth of today are more independent. They are more self-motivated and perform at a significantly higher level when they understand the purpose and values behind the desired results. They are demotivated by being heavily supervised.

The pressure on the leaders will increase with the Millennials now entering the arena. Who will be even more independent? The leaders will have to adapt to a new way of thinking. Some leaders will rarely see their employees face to face. When many industries will allow them to work from anywhere, they like.

Many organizations talk more and more about the benefit of Agile leadership versus mechanical leadership.

To create a stronger want to follow – leadership. The leader must have the ability to create clarity around their values, be strong purpose-driven, and at the same time be a role model in the area.

Arguments

According to the background and trend in leadership– we need to shift focus and start playing chess, instead of being a piece on the board that others move around.

“The competition is killing us” – which is not true when it comes to the ability to know the effective outcome of value-based leadership. The positive thing for you who are interested in developing your skills in this area will then be long ahead of your competition in years to come. The evidence of that is so clear when we look at what’s going on with employees from the generation of Millennials.

Another benefit of the shift to being a more value-based leader is that you also become a greater force in changing the company/organization/“world”. Because you’ll activate the inner drive in the individuals. Effective value-based questions help them think for themselves on a higher level.

You will make other people feel important and appreciated. You’ll make better opportunities for people to grow, both professionally and personally, which also creates stronger results over time.

Yes, you will find that there are a lot of naysayers while implementing a higher level of focus on leading with values, but you also know that resistance is one of the key things that make you stronger in the end.

Be the person others choose to follow.

Value-based leadership is something that creates strong results over time?

The reply to that statement is a spot-on yes!

You will be influencing people at a much higher level.

The best investment for tomorrow is to develop your influence. It is one of the cornerstones of leadership and a central part that we treat in the training. The training will put your character and your leadership at the center, which means that you are primarily the instrument. You will gain insights to carry with you for life!

This is how the course is laid out in summary:

Our objective is to implement a process that will provide the leader in your organization with high-level skills, tools, and support, so they can reach their true value-based leadership potential. This conscious shift will dramatically change the culture of your organization and is essential for stronger results. The last session will be a certification day, where you’ll have to prepare and be ready to present 3 essential parts of the program.

Five benefits for the participants and the organization at the end of this 12-month leadership program:

1. The leaders of your company will not only feel empowered they’ll also be more assured about their values and build a rock-solid ground to lean on in heavy weather.

Program Objectives

The following list represents the Key Program Objectives (KPO) for the Appleton Greene Value-Based Leadership Performance corporate training program.

Value-Based Leadership Performance – Part 1- Year 1

1. Part 1 Month 1 Value-Based Leadership – Before being elected South Africa’s first-ever black president, he had spent 27 years in prison
   on Robben Island. While in the cell, he had a piece of paper that he looked at several times a day, a quote from William Ernest Henley: “I am master of my destiny, and captain of my soul. “A mantra that became the basis of his unending character and strong Value-Based Leadership. Strong characters never expect easy journeys, they see the dark moments as building blocks for inner strength, to be able to turn adversity into success with self-leadership and confidence in their abilities. What, then, distinguishes a strong character from a weaker one? In our experience, it is above all perseverance, the ability to take action and resist disappointment. That you continue to move forward step by step, with both heart and brain as your guide. A Value-Based leader is based on the above but is also based on three pairs of characteristics. Honesty and Reliability. Integrity and Self-Confidence. Perseverance and Discipline. Very few, however, work to purposefully develop their character. Instead of building a strong backbone around their most important character traits, they bring up a shield as protection. A foundation that makes them vulnerable. What qualities characterize me and my leadership? What behaviors do I identify with? What motivates me? What makes me proud? What are my goals? Questions were constantly worked on during antiquity when “Know yourself” was a central concept in leadership education. A sentence that was the prerequisite for success, then as now. In this first workshop, we will set the foundation of your strong Value-Based Leadership Performance, by digging deeper into the elements of culture that helps us to better understand behavior about challenges. This will make you better prepared and keep your feet on rock-solid ground in tougher times. With the benefits of an aligned set of values, employees work better together and achieve goals faster. The journey to becoming a value-based leader starts with self-reflection. If you’re not self-reflective, how can you know yourself? If you do not know yourself, how can you lead yourself? If you cannot lead yourself, how can you lead others? This comes at a critical time when true value-based leadership at every level of society is desperately needed.
2. Part 1 Month 2 Successful Focal Points – Building on the first workshop on culture and the benefit of a conscious character. The objective of this workshop is to help participants to a better understanding of vital leadership skills. We will set the tone for the rest of the Value-based Leadership Program by having a workshop around the core skills for a leader to focus on. We will be matching each core skill with a specific discussion in respective areas to create Insight into the participant’s strengths and weaknesses. This provides a very useful perspective and clarity to help them put in the gear at their next important step to focus on, with the most valuable return of investment for them. The participants will be engaged and challenged to evaluate their leadership techniques, be able to gain courage, and productivity, and influence more people faster.
3. Part 1 Month 3 Management By Objectives – Where are you going? This is a critical question – both in people’s individual life and in large organizations. The challenge is that not many people can answer that question specifically. A major part of organizations and companies have goals and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of course. But the focus on what kind of goals best helps the organization create the will to take action toward them is not as clear. We will this session break the goal steering process down to its motivational driving forces and see what increases the habits or the activities, which has a larger impact on the results further on. We will use a tool that has been implemented by the best of the best – RAC. Understanding one´s own and the organization’s tools for setting directions and establishing the most effective KPIs is a key prerequisite when it comes to evaluating and strengthening your Mental Efficiency, which we’ll handle in the next workshop.
4. Part 1 Month 4 Mental Efficiency – “We chose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard” Winged words would build the new United States with energy, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit. A nation with a newfound faith in the future. And a sentence that, thanks to all the inventions that the project brought with it – turned out to have effects far beyond what was expected. Do you want to be able to increase your Mental efficiency as a leader, according to the same principles, and get the most out of your efforts and the people you lead? Then set aside time for these valuable workshop sessions with effective tools; The art of consuming an elephant… Cut it into small enough pieces. The art of consuming Mental Efficiency is to similarly cut the area into sufficiently educational parts. That’s what we’ll do in this workshop. It is a subject that contains both motivation and prioritization skills as well as positive thinking and self-confidence, as well as goal focus, committing to your plan, and increasing the ability to take action. But it is primarily about getting the most out of the energy you put into the system. This will be one of the leadership workshops which will help you in all aspects of life.
5. Part 1 Month 5 Change Management – Change management is a concept that summarizes and includes all work around structured processes that companies and organizations use to
