Step Up to Leadership - with the Dale Carnegie Foundation
Tuesday, 7 July 2026 (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM) (NZST)
Description
Step up to be the leader you are meant to be
Don’t supervise.... super-lead your team to breakthrough performance!
In this programme, you will smooth your transition from individual contributor to leader.
”Leadership is a learned skill” most of us learn to lead based on previous leaders (the good ones and the bad ones) in our lives."
While attributes such as friendliness, integrity, enthusiasm, and determination – the kind of qualities that likely led to your current position may come naturally, the skills of leadership need to be learned, earned, and practiced.
Business Managers and Supervisors who understand this simple truth and know how to implement it are the ones who positively impact organisations today. They develop high-performance teams that get results because they can lead, not just manage.
“If you motivate me to want to do it, I will do it beyond expectation”

Objectives:

Expect Breakthroughs: Each time a new skill is introduced, it is practically applied in the classroom and coached in the moment before moving it out into your life and work. Once a skill has been tested, the group holds itself accountable by reporting back on what did or did not work. This experiential learning approach makes it possible for everyone to learn from each other’s efforts. By experiencing a series of successful attempts with positive reinforcement, habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained.
