Background

The Leadership program is based on research and expertise in the Social Psychology of leadership, risk and management.  The program has its primary focus on human judgement and decision making and how social arrangements influence relationships and behaviour. The program is about enhancing observation, risk perception and risk intelligence. The emphasise is on the importance of visibility, walking the talk, talking the walk, consultation, observations, listening, discourse, language and dialogue.

The program develops understanding in the core capabilities required to influence the way humans behave, think and act in groups, teams and organisations.  The training incorporates a range of methodologies including, workshops, coaching, mentoring, diagnostics and training (in situ and on-line).

Purpose and expected outcomes

The core purpose of this program is to assist site managers and supervisors to better understand and enhance their risk perception and observation skills. The focus of the program is on skill development, risk intelligence and maturity. By the conclusion of the program supervisors will have:

The key to effective risk perception, observation, leadership and managing responsibility is knowing how to tackle risk. Risk intelligence understands how humans make decisions and judgments and supervises and manages based upon that intelligence.
