Leadership Training by QMII to Teach Leaders of People and Processes as a System.

QMII has always brought value to our alumni and clients by looking at the system in its totality and how the investment in the system will affect the bottom line positively. The Top Management plays a very important part in this. Our leadership training is for leaders to lead the people and processes as a system. The Awareness Leaders Workshop (AWS) has stood the test of time and been valued by leaders as they implement the system approach.

Effective from February 2014, QMII is launching additional training in leadership. This training has been planned based on inputs received over the years from our alumni including several CEOs and Top Management (TM) representatives of organizations that we have worked with. We are not planning at present to teach managers to be leaders. This is being done in the next stage in a separate training package.

 This training is not for teaching leadership to managers. Teaching leadership to managers is a completely different course to what our training on leading people and processes as a system. That would be the next step. The next stage of our training will include at least these 13 traits and perhaps a few more. An introductory lecture will mention these 13 traits: Attitude, External Awareness,   Professionalism, Initiative, Creative Thinking, Stress Management, Interpersonal Skills, Communication, Influence, Diversity, Conflict Resolution, Teamwork and Adaptability. My idea (and I am open to more discussion and inputs) is not to teach these leadership traits aspects more formally to meet the objectives of leaders as they implement their management systems to impact the bottom line, right to cash in the bank.

The leadership training being offered will teach leaders of people and processes as a system. This way we will not be are in danger of insulting the leaders who already have many of these traits.  We just mention them. This training strengthens the leadership training in making objective decisions using the system approach and not being in danger of regurgitating old-school people management styles, including blame culture without regard for the leaders’ responsibility to provide constancy of purpose and a management system that helps follower to fulfill the purpose. And we all will appreciate that a room full of leaders with desirable traits and competent people is ineffective.    They both need to work as parts of a process-based management system that is focused on creating more successful customers.  

QMII is therefore providing leadership training with the approach to process based management system.  We are assuming that the leaders who come to this training know these traits or will study them elsewhere or attend another of our courses where we will teach these.
