Outstanding leadership of teams

An HR Network event

23rd February 2012

We know that great leaders do not exist alone. Previous research has highlighted how outstanding leaders operate through others. The best leave a legacy that outlasts them building resourceful individuals and great teams that can display leadership for themselves and who can sustain high performance. This workshop will build on our research into outstanding leadership and new research on team effectiveness and seek to explore what outstanding team leadership looks like? What are the lessons for team selection, development, talent spotting and management.

In this practical workshop we will explore how leaders and teams relate, how they influence each other and what great team leadership looks like. We will hear from participants about what they see in their own organisations. The second half will explore the ways in which organisations identify, enable and develop leaders to promote successful team leadership, with support and challenge from their peer delegates in a number of small working groups.
