City of Melville: leadership training

INTRODUCTION

Aligned with the City of Melville's commitment to nurturing exceptional leadership and management practices, the CEO and executive team have partnered with Aspire Performance Training to amplify their leadership skills.

This program is part of a larger company-wide training initiative, currently underway, for the City of Melville, to be progressively completed over the next few years.

Offering a bespoke training solution, Aspire's recent workshop involved the team working together following their Human Synergistics LSI program, 360 feedback, to focus on constructive styles of the circumplex which focuses on Achievement, Self-Actualizing, Humanistic-Encouraging and Affiliate. The program continued using Stephen R Covey’s ‘Trust and Inspire’ to demonstrate the change in leadership from a command and control to unleashing greatness in others using a “trust and Inspire’ leadership style.

This particular session was custom-designed and co-facilitated by Jane Mahon and Denise Neville, based on the team's Human Synergistics LSI program 360 feedback.

How Aspire Performance Training Responded

Aspire Performance Training's response was thoughtfully crafted to provide an immersive and transformative experience for the executive team.

Carefully curated, the facilitated session was designed to enable the executive team to deeply explore and embody constructive leadership styles. Against the picturesque backdrop of the South Perth Yacht Club, the executive team, under the leadership of CEO Marten Tieleman, enthusiastically participated in candid and supportive discussions. These discussions effectively aligned their aspirations with the guiding principles of the circumplex model.

Based on the team's Human Synergistics LSI program 360 feedback, the session focused on fostering the principles of 'Trust & Inspire,' drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Stephen R. Covey.

By integrating constructive leadership styles—such as Achievement, Self-Actualizing, Humanistic-Encouraging, and Affiliate—participants honed their skills in effective leadership.

The day's proceedings were expertly co-facilitated by Jane Mahon and Denise Neville, further enhancing the experience.

The outcomes of the program were profound and far-reaching.

Throughout the day each executive led by CEO, Marten Tieleman were open, and supportive, using the constructive styles the executive team demonstrated their commitment to leading effectively at City of Melville.

Delving deep into the circumplex, the executive team completed their ideal executive team circumplex and what they all hope to strive for as a group.

Open, honest, communicative, and showing humility the team shared their results and how committed they are in working together using the ‘constructive style’ with each other and their teams.

Through their commitment to embracing constructive leadership styles, the executive team emerged with a renewed sense of purpose and unity.

This transformative journey provided the City of Melville's leadership with practical tools to navigate challenges, inspire their teams, and create positive change within the organisation.

This is just the start of the team's journey and we look forward to seeing their progress.

TRAINING

Human Synergistics Life Styles Inventory (LSI) Program

Self-Perception Assessment:

Participants complete a self-assessment questionnaire that explores their thoughts, behaviours, and attitudes across various situations. This process helps individuals gain insights into their dominant thinking styles and tendencies.

360-Degree Feedback

In addition to self-assessment, the LSI program often incorporates feedback from colleagues, superiors, and subordinates.

This multisource feedback provides a well-rounded view of an individual's behavior and its impact on others.

Constructive Styles vs. Defensive Styles:

The LSI program categorizes thinking and behavioural styles into constructive styles (e.g., Achievement, Self-Actualizing, Humanistic-Encouraging, Affiliative) and passive/defensive styles (e.g., Approval, Conventional, Dependent, Avoidance).

These categories offer a nuanced understanding of how individuals approach challenges, relationships, and tasks.

Individual and Group Insights:

The program provides individuals with detailed profiles of their dominant and limiting styles. Group reports aggregate data to offer insights into collective team dynamics and areas for improvement.

Development Planning:

Based on the assessment results, participants develop personalised action plans to enhance constructive styles and manage passive/defensive tendencies.

The program encourages self-awareness and intentional growth.

Leadership Development:

The LSI program is often employed as a tool for leadership development. It helps leaders recognize their impact on organisational culture, communication, and performance and guides them toward more effective leadership practices.

Benefits:

Self-Awareness: The LSI program offers participants a deeper understanding of their thinking patterns, motivations, and how they are perceived by others.
Personal Growth: By identifying areas for improvement, individuals can work on enhancing their constructive thinking styles and minimizing passive/defensive behaviours.
Effective Leadership: The LSI program equips leaders with insights into their leadership styles, enabling them to create more positive and productive work environments.
Enhanced Communication: Understanding one's communication tendencies helps individuals adapt their approach for better interpersonal interactions.
Team Dynamics: The program facilitates improved team collaboration by highlighting areas of alignment and potential conflict.
Organizational Culture: By fostering constructive thinking and behaviours, the LSI program contributes to the development of a healthier and more productive organisational culture.

Stephen R. Covey's Principles

Trust:

Covey places great importance on trust as the cornerstone of all relationships, whether personal or professional. He highlights the concept of the "trust dividend," which suggests that when trust is established, communication becomes more efficient, collaboration flourishes, and progress is expedited. Trust is built through consistent integrity, transparency, and the alignment of actions with values.

Inspire:

Inspiration, according to Covey, is about influencing others from the inside out. Leaders who inspire have a profound impact on those around them by demonstrating authenticity, empathy, and a clear sense of purpose. Covey emphasizes that inspirational leaders focus on understanding the needs and aspirations of their team members, enabling them to align their goals with the organization's vision.

Personal Responsibility:

Covey's principles of trust and inspiration are underpinned by the concept of personal responsibility. He advocates for individuals to take ownership of their actions, attitudes, and behaviours. By doing so, individuals can contribute positively to their relationships, teams, and organisations.

Empowerment and Collaboration:

Leaders who prioritize trust and inspiration empower their teams to take initiative and contribute their best efforts. Covey encourages collaborative environments where diverse perspectives are valued, and individuals are given opportunities to grow and develop.

Habit of Win-Win:

One of Covey's "7 Habits" is the "Win-Win" mindset, which aligns with the principles of trust and inspiration. It emphasizes seeking mutually beneficial solutions in interactions and negotiations, fostering an atmosphere of cooperation and respect.

Effective Communication:

Clear and open communication is a pivotal aspect of Covey's principles. Leaders who build trust and inspire others are skilled communicators who listen actively, express themselves authentically, and foster understanding among team members.

Leading with Vision:

Covey's principles of trust and inspiration encourage leaders to articulate a compelling vision that resonates with their teams. This vision serves as a source of motivation and direction, guiding individuals toward shared goals and objectives.
