The programme kicks off with a two day introductory forum that focuses on raising self-awareness; identifying the type of leader they are and aspire to be; and provides specific tools for changing their style of communicating with their manager, peers and team members. The other four days of the programme are spaced over a 4-5 month period.

Participants continue to develop their own self-awareness and the impact their beliefs, attitudes and behaviours have on the way they communicate and manage people.

During the course of Ignite, participants will:

• Develop the critical skills and competencies required to successfully lead and manage teams and support their transition from team player to successful team leader;
  
• Refine any skill gaps by working with qualified professional development coaches;
  
• Define the goals and expectations of their role though direct consultation with their manager;
  
• Improve the critical interpersonal skills for engaging and leading people; and
  
• Improve their own self-awareness.
  

The involvement of the participants’ manager is a critical factor in creating tangible outcomes in the workplace. Managers are involved throughout the programme through structured progress reporting, a 360 degree feedback survey and involvement in one of the workshops.
