Development of Purposeful Leaders – Belief
Our first paper on the Development of Purposeful Leaders focused on underpinning psychological factors. This second paper by Mike Pezet shifts focus to programme design, delivery and the programme ‘ingredients’ which Acorn believe enables learning to transfer into tangible, productive workplace action.
Effective leadership, managerial and executive programmes can help potential leaders become aware of the need to move beyond their habitual, self-reinforcing patterns of behaviour, perception, thought and feeling in order to take purposeful action.
Careful thought should therefore be afforded to programme design and consideration for what will enable people to move from potential to actual leader.
Experience from three decades’ working with a client-base spread across diverse industries, Acorn has found the first step for enabling such movement is to understand what influences personal change, as lasting, sustainable change needs to be fuelled by intrinsic motivation.
