Self Leadership

Empower everyone to take control of their own success

It’s not just managers who have a big impact on business success. Individual contributors spend their days working with customers and handling all the day-to-day activities that keep your business running smoothly. They are the silent majority of your organisation, and building a sustainable business takes their motivation and commitment.

Our Self Leadership course teaches individuals the mindset and skillset they need to become empowered, proactive self leaders who take control of their own success and are committed to getting results for your organisation.

Create a culture of self leadership to support and expand people’s potential

To succeed in today’s competitive markets, it’s vital that every employee in your organisation is empowered, proactive, and committed to achieving results. Our Self Leadership course teaches individuals at all levels of your organisation how to become empowered self leaders who accept responsibility and take initiative for their own success.

Blanchard’s Self Leadership programme builds on the world’s most widely taught leadership model, SLII®, and integrates the latest research on the proactive skills required for individuals to be most effective. Team members learn a shared language for discussing their development and performance, allowing them to have more effective conversations and build more trusting, open relationships with their managers.

Self Leadership teaches individual contributors the mindset and skillset needed to become proactive self-starters who know how to ask for direction and support, solicit feedback, and sell their ideas to the leadership team.

Invest In Self Leadership To Empower Your Company’s Most Valuable Asset—Its Individual Contributors

The success of your company’s strategic initiatives depends on the commitment and proactive behaviour of those on the front line, the individual contributors who are responsible for executing and making it happen. When we empower individual contributors with the self leadership skillset and mindset, we build a healthy and engaged workforce that is accountable, innovative, and productive.

Accelerate Development

Self leaders take control of their own career development — they ask for the direction and support they need, moving up the curve to proficiency more quickly.

Reduce Cost of Sales

Empowered self leaders are more engaged and committed, consistently working hard and increasing performance across your organisation.

Drive Personal Accountability

Self leaders are not held accountable by their managers — they hold themselves accountable for achieving their goals and successfully executing your organisation’s initiatives.

Increase Innovation

Empowered self leaders know how to overcome constraints that limit their ability to solve problems, address challenges, and develop innovative solutions.
