An initiative of the Centre for Creative Leadership

“Within the first hour of the program, it felt like we had bonded and known each other for a long time. We were friends, sharing the same passion and with a common goal to learn and grow together; and so the classroom became a place where we put aside our credentials, age and positions to focus on our development as leaders.” ~ LE Participant, Ethiopia 2008

Do the Right Things: Rules for Leading Ethically

Leading with Emotional Intelligence (EI)

Ethics is a critical tenet of good governance and underscores effective leadership that supports trust, transparency and accountability. The current wave of government and organizational scrutiny has led to a widening gap between them and the public they serve resulting in a lack of public engagement which derails efforts towards national development.

People high on emotional intelligence are expected to progress more quickly within organizations and achieve success. This course is designed to help individuals develop and enrich their knowledge and application of EI principles and techniques to deepen their understanding of the importance of self awareness and management. These competencies are requisite for personal and professional development and will facilitate the forging and management of social interactions that transcend cultural and physical boundaries.

In this seminar we explore ways in which that gap might be narrowed by paying closer attention to ethics and its connection to leaders and leadership development, recognising that leaders and organizations are well served by examining the ethical dimensions of their work, which enhances stakeholder buy-in and productivity.

Target Groups •

Public sector leaders managers, and senior personnel, who will implement comprehensive ethics management systems in their organizations

Target Groups • Individuals who are desirous of learning how emotions affect performance at work, and how to use practical but effective strategies to manage emotions in difficult situations Award: MIND Certificate of Achievement

Leading Successful Teams For those in or moving into a team leadership role, the challenge can be daunting.

Management Analysis is a formal, guided process for integrating the people, information and technology of an organization. It is used to match the organisation’s form as closely as possible to the purpose(s) the organization seeks to achieve. Through the design process, organizations act to improve the probability that the collective efforts of members will be successful. Typically, design is approached as an internal change where managers and members work together to define the needs of the organization then create systems to meet those needs most effectively. This course provides a roadmap for management analysts and other stakeholders within organizations for effective organizational process management.

Target Groups • Management Analysts, senior manag ers and technical specialists in the public sector who have a responsibility for organizational change and moderni zation Award: MIND Certificate of Achievement

Award: MIND Certificate of Achievement

Management Institute for National Development

Strategic Risk Management The challenges in managing risks are multifaceted given the rise in their volume and complexities coupled with the fact that many of the techniques used by boards and senior executives are inconsistent with current realities, lack alignment and often ad hoc. This creates an “expectations gap” between what stakeholders and regulators expect of boards and senior executives and what they actually do. One strategy that organizations employ is Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This emerging business practice emphasizes a topdown, holistic approach that increases the likelihood that an organization will institutionalize effective risk management systems, thus protecting and enhancing stakeholder value.

Target Groups •

Professionals responsible for Risk Management, Operations Management, Human Resource and Administration, Corporate Planning, Internal Audit, Monitoring and Evaluation, Asset Management and other related areas

Award: MIND Certificate of Achievement
