| Day 1 | |
| Welcome and Introduction | General introduction from trainer followed by a senior member of the leadership team setting the scene for the learning over the next two days. |
| Aims and Objectives | These are detailed in the learning outcomes. |
| Ice-Breaker | Delegates introduce themselves and take part in a short activity to break the ice. |
| Culture Maturity Ladder® | The Culture of Care Maturity Ladder® is an evolutionary ladder where the organization becomes more mature as trust and accountability increase and the safety culture becomes increasingly informed. |
| Informed Culture | This section builds on the cultural maturity ladder and looks at how an organization can develop an informed safety culture (James Reason) by having four main pillars in place: - Reporting Culture - Just Culture - Learning Culture - Flexible Culture |
| Culture of Denial | Being able to identify warning signs and know what factors make up a safety culture of denial helps an organization combat these and build resilience. |
| High Reliability Organizations | A look at what High Reliability Organizations (HRO) are and what they do that makes them so resilient. |
| Chronic Unease | What is chronic unease? Mindfulness in leadership is important if leaders are going to spot potential safety performance problems and issues. |
| Day 2 | |
| Welcome and Recap | Introduction to day 2 and recap of information covered on previous day. |
| Leadership Excellence | To introduce leadership excellence, delegates are asked to think about what makes a person memorable or have the biggest impact. This then leads into the exercise where the skills and qualities of leadership excellence are examined. |
| Emotional Intelligence | Emotional Intelligence (EI) is said to be more important than IQ. This section gives an overview of the four sections of EI and invites delegates to consider areas for improvement. |
| Leadership Styles | An authentic leader knows that to be effective they need to be able to use a range of different leadership styles and for these to be matched to the right situation and the right people. Here we look at Daniel Goleman’s 6 primal leadership styles: commanding, pacesetting, affiliative, democratic, coaching and visionary. |
| Communication | Leaders need to communicate effectively. We start with a general overview of what makes up communication. Listening - one of the main skills of effective communication. Active listening skills are essential. Questioning skills – asking the right questions at the right time is vital for an authentic leader. |
| Webmaster | This is a practical exercise where delegates are asked to put together interconnecting lengths of ropes working to a plan. The aim of the exercise is for the delegates to apply the skills discussed over the last 2 days. |
| Personal Action | The group will consider what they personally are going to do to develop their abilities as a leader. |
