COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Extraordinary Leadership Behaviours course. This program explores how leaders can be developed, strengthened and elevated from ordinary performers into highly influential and effective organisational contributors. It establishes the foundational belief that leaders can be made, that leadership is a learnable discipline, and that great leadership produces significant positive differences for teams, organisations and communities. It also examines the principles of building leadership skills, increasing positive impact, developing critical competencies, and understanding why character remains at the core of credible leadership.

This course begins by examining how ordinary managers can become extraordinary through deliberate development, consistent behavioural practice and a commitment to personal growth. You will explore how to increase a leader’s impact, how to make good leaders great, and how to strengthen leadership ability across all organisational levels so that leadership becomes a shared and distributed capability. This section also reviews the importance of altering behaviours in structured steps and developing personal capability through repeatable techniques that maximise performance.

The next learning area focuses on the interpersonal dimensions of leadership and why strong relationship skills are essential to extraordinary performance. You will review how leaders focus on results while maintaining high-quality relationships, the importance of interpersonal skills, and practical ways to develop them. This section outlines why organisations benefit when everyone is trained to lead, how to lead organisational change, and the three characteristics commonly found in “career best” leadership moments.

Another learning area examines personal strengths, passions and organisational values. You will learn why leaders must identify their strengths, how to remain focused on strengths rather than weaknesses, and how to improve systematically in areas where you already perform well. This section also explains how to recognise strengths in others, improve in a manageable number of areas, leverage the halo effect, and identify powerful combinations of competencies.

A further learning area explores competency development, complementary skills and the role of learning through experience. You will consider how to build combinations of competencies, combat fatal flaws, learn from mistakes, and build positive and productive relationships. This section outlines why leaders should remain open to new ideas, how to cultivate a climate that welcomes innovation, and why accountability and responsibility are non-negotiable leadership attributes.

Another learning area focuses on initiative, feedback and nonlinear growth. You will examine the steps involved in taking initiative, how to use feedback to drive improvement, and how adopting a nonlinear approach to leadership development creates advantages in adaptability and problem-solving. This section also explains why mindset matters, how to build awareness of competency companions, and how to appreciate the unexpected benefits that arise from leadership growth.

The final learning area explores developing others, shaping leadership cultures and acting on leadership beliefs. You will review the steps to improve your leadership skills, how to identify high performers, and how to develop people to reach their potential. This section highlights why leaders must believe in their people, why they should expect change to occur sooner rather than later, and why leadership credibility depends on consistently acting on your stated beliefs.

By the end of this course, you will be able to build and refine extraordinary leadership behaviours, strengthen interpersonal and strategic capabilities, develop complementary skills, elevate the strengths of others, foster innovative and accountable team cultures, and apply practical methods to grow your leadership impact across all organisational environments.
