Module 1: Leading with Style
Date and time: 4 November 2024 (11am -1pm AEDT)
Great leaders know that leadership is a fluid practice. They understand the influence of personality and know how to leverage their go-to leadership style. They’re also comfortable to flex and switch codes to fit alternative contexts.
Effective leaders regularly adjust and improve the ways they serve their residents and care recipients and how they direct their teams. They have a growing toolkit of tactical communication skills and know-how and when to apply them.
Module 2: Emotional Intelligence, Resilience and Confidence
Date and time: 11 November 2024 (11am -1pm AEDT)
Great leaders have emotional intelligence. They understand that people respond differently to everyday challenges and the ebb and flow of aged care workplace interactions.
Smart leaders know how to work well with others, manage stress, make effective decisions and inspire others to positive action. They know how to manage their own emotional profile and maintain their equilibrium and confidence in the face of an often complex, uncertain and ambiguous professional environment. And they know how to support and encourage their teams to do the same.
Module 3: Conflict Literacy
Date and time: 12 November 2024 (11am -1pm AEDT)
Great leaders are confident in any context because they are conflict literate. They know how to navigate with grace and skill the tensions and disagreements that are inevitable with professional groups and teams. Especially in the rapidly growing aged care sector with high demand and constantly evolving consumer expectations.
Effective leaders don’t shy away from conflict as they understand that if we manage conflict constructively, we harness its energy for creativity and development. Conflict literate leaders have the ability to nurture the optimal amount of tension in a team to foster positive engagement and generate the best ideas and actions. They also know how to listen and respond more effectively to concerns and questions from care recipients and their support networks.
Module 4: Confident Conversations
Date and time: 18 November 2024 (11am – 1pm AEDT)
Great leaders know how to have courageous conversations. They know that open, transparent dialogue is a powerful problem-solving resource and a great way to grow confident, high-performing teams. Given high levels of volatility, uncertainty, and ambiguity in the aged care sector, the need for confident, positive, and practical communication has never been more vital.
In this module, you’ll discover how courageous conversations save you time, money and energy, and help you build trust through genuine, open communication. You’ll find simple ways to master the art and heart of authentic feedback and grow your circle of influence.
Module 5: Decision Making and Delegation
Date and time: 19 November 2024 (11am – 1pm AEDT)
Great leaders know how to make decisions. They know how to choose the best way forward when faced with uncertainty, complexity, risk, and alternative opinions. They understand that timely, positive, and purposeful decisions encourage trust and collaboration. Smart leaders understand how people influence decisions and how decisions influence people.
They harness that energy in productive ways to ensure the best outcomes for care recipients, their teams, and their organisation’s broader strategic intentions. They are also comfortable encouraging their teams to step up more confidently into higher levels of decision-making for themselves.
Module 6: Strategic Doing
Date and time: 25 November 2024 (11am – 1pm AEDT)
Great Leaders know how to plan their actions and action their plans. They’re more relaxed and get more done with less effort. They are clear on their vision, mission, values and purpose. They understand the unique demands and expectations in contemporary Aged Care. They set goals and measure progress and make sure they take into account the competing priorities of clinical, residential, and commercial imperatives.
They understand the complex mix of compliance issues that govern their work. They also know the human factors that contribute to the ongoing success and sustainability of any project or team. Smart leaders shift from outdated strategic planning to more effective strategic doing. In this module, you’ll discover the only two problems you need to solve for a more balanced and productive life.
