Leading from the Middle

• How do we help key personnel become more self-aware and reflective of their behaviour and motivation?
• How can we help KPs think and act more systemically?
• How can KPs communicate more strategically?

The key personnel in our schools, in particular, Heads of Department, have the daunting task of not only leading teams and setting directions for their respective departments, they also have to be excellent executors on the ground. They need to be able to translate their visions into action in a dynamic school environment that is becoming increasingly complex. They also need to work effectively with their superiors and their colleagues in the school to achieve both department and school outcomes.

In this 1-Day workshop, KPs will gain clarity in their roles as middle managers and will have opportunity to have hands on experience with learning organisation tools that can prove effective in their leadership journey.

Three areas will be covered in this workshop:

• Being Mindful and Self-Aware
• Communicating Strategically
• Thinking and Acting Systemically

Target Audience: Key Personnel in Schools and MOE HQ
