Woody Allen says that success in life is “. . . 20% timing and 80% just showing up.” People usually “show up” in leadership situations. But leadership success is much more than just showing up. It is the application of tested concepts and the “timing” skills necessary to get things done. This programme is designed to provide you with these skills. This programme will empower the participant to do two things: To raises the awareness of the readiness of those you are attempting to influence and the ability to adapt your behaviour to help others help themselves.

The model used for this programme will provide a quick reference to the participant to:

	Diagnosing the level of readiness
	Selecting high probability leadership styles, and
	Communicating styles to effectively influence behaviour.
