The top level of the leadership journey is leading an organisation. By the time a leader reaches this level they should be highly skilled at being able to self lead and also to lead people, however we do work with many senior leaders who find it useful to cover some of the topics covered on our Leading Self and Leading People areas. Leading an organisation requires the skills of self leadership (particularly as being a senior leader can be very lonely) as well as being able to inspire and motivate others. In addition to this, the leader needs to be able to create and inspire a vision for the organisation to others and create links outside of the organisation.
The videos housed in this section of Dendrite are here to support you developing this area of leadership and through these videos, other books you will find on The Learning Partnership web site, and live training programmes you should have an appreciation of, and be able to apply day to day the following areas of leading the organisation.
Leading the Organisation - Level 1
- Be able to apply what they have learned about creating their personal vision to creating a vision for the organisation
- Understand the importance of networking and linking to others outside of their own organisation
- Be able to set goals and strategy for the organisation that can be filtered down to others
Leading the Organisation - Level 2
- Understand the importance of mission and vision statements and how to create these using the input of others
- Be able to translate global strategy into local strategy
- Be able to communicate to large groups in an inspiring and compelling way
- Be a role model for leadership that others aspire to
