Leadership & Management

The true measure of value for any business leader or manager is performance.

Challenges for leaders and managers in organisations are increasingly complex. The business environment is fast-changing, and organisations need to adapt at break-neck speeds. Four generations, with different motivations and expectations, make up the modern organisation. Diversity in globalised markets and organisations is something to be leveraged on, yet few do so effectively. Despite the cacophony of challenges, leaders and managers must ultimately perform.

We believe in impactful leadership that creates a positive difference in people and organisations. And we’ve helped thousands of leaders to do it through our leadership training program.

Our Leadership and Management Programs

Transformational Leadership

Driving Culture Change Through Leaders

In Transformational Leadership; the key word is to transform. Transform what? The transformation is from a position of getting things done through Compliance to getting results from Commitment. The difference between energy and motivation coming from a committed person as opposed to a compliant individual is apparent. Transformational leadership is about changing the way we work with our team and in doing so we get the team to change the way they work.

Whilst Management’s focus is internal – on benefits for the organisation: results, profitability, etc. The leader’s focus is on people – internally on motivation and increasing morale and externally on improving quality and customer service. Employees not only will enhance performance and productivity but also improve profits when they are committed and inspired to through effective leadership. It also involves the developing people as well.

To exercise transformational leadership; we are one has to make sure that the following processes are in place:

  • Vision: Have a vision of where they are going – of what they are going to achieve.
  • Plan: Leaders are not just dreamers; they turn their visions into achievable goals and objectives.
  • Communication: Communicate their plans in a way that generates enthusiasm for team members to share the vision.
  • Build Trust: Communicate a climate of trust, which encourages openness, the willingness to change and learn, as well as commitment to their plans.

Managing Performance For Results

Quest Learning’s Managing Performance Solution is the learning regimen for managers to improve productivity, quality and performance in the organisation.

Improving and maintaining high productivity and quality is a major concern to most organisations. Although many factors that influence performance are not directly influenced by managers (e.g. competition, the economy), many factors are under their control. Very often these manager-controlled factors are underutilized or improperly applied. The result is diminished productivity and job quality.

Fortunately, managers can learn skills and install procedures that research has shown will improve and maintain human performance. Managing Performance is a performance-oriented system that ensures managers learn and apply the techniques on the job.

Objectives:

Equip managers and leaders of high performance teams to:

  • Identify key areas of group and individual accountability
  • Develop performance objectives and standards in key results areas, define and set up KPIs to the team
  • Develop performance goals and action plans for each specific period that help employees achieve or exceed performance standards.
