General
Info

Purpose

This approach to team leadership training is aimed at action orientated environments where effective functional leadership is required to achieve critical or reactive tasks by small teams. In other words leadership of small groups often created to respond to a situation or critical incident.

In most cases these teams are tasked to operate in isolation and changeable environments with limited support or backup (action environments). Leadership of people in these environments requires a different set of skills to that of first line management. These leaders must effectively operate independent and negotiate both the needs of the individual, team and task within a changeable environment. We have for the purposes of this course termed this type of leadership Action Orientated Leadership. Examples of organisations who have used this training include team leaders in: rural fire, search and rescue and civil defence.

The training will cater for the broad spectrum of existing and aspiring team leaders operating in action orientated environments.

The residential nature of the training also provides the opportunity for team leaders and experienced practitioners from different agencies to train together thereby enhancing inter organisational operability.
