Tailored Leadership Training Beyond Theory
Personalised Leadership Training
At Competence SA our leadership training goes beyond theory to deliver practical, behaviour-focused development.
Effective leadership isn’t just about understanding management theories—it’s about demonstrating behaviours that are key to leadership success every day. Our training, therefore, focuses on essential competencies like problem-solving, clear communication, relationship building, and people development.
Instead of following a generic approach to leadership training, we start the development process with an objective assessment of a manager or potential leader’s strengths and development areas. This enables focused, tailored and successful coaching of priority development areas.
So, whether you need to develop first-time managers or will be initiating succession planning focused on senior leaders, our personalised, behaviour-based approach becomes the framework for lasting and measurable success.
Our Leadership Training Process
Our approach to leadership development, isn’t a ‘quick fix’.
It is a process that begins with a thorough assessment of your managers’ personalities, reasoning abilities, and relevant behavioural competencies. This objective evaluation allows a clear picture of each participant’s strengths and areas for improvement, followed by comprehensive feedback and a specified development plan.
Next, participants engage in several coaching sessions, with our expert coaches who will guide them through the agreed development areas using practical exercises and real-life scenarios to help them practice and internalise the lacking behaviours.
Throughout the program, participants receive weekly challenges, feedback, and reinforcement for up to three months after coaching ends.
This systematic process ensures that participants not only learn but consistently apply the leadership skills essential for new habit-forming to take place.
We make provision for regular check-ins and the monitoring of actual change, ensuring the measurement of progress.
Our program is designed to help leaders at every level tackle the unique challenges of today’s business world. For more about the different behavioural challenges leaders face at different organisational levels, read our article: 5 Steps for Making Leadership Development Work in Your Organization
