what is enabling leadership?

Enabling Leadership is about shifting practices and conversations from ‘telling and directing’ to ‘curiosity and engagement’, from ‘command and control’ to ‘enabling the success of your team’. Aimed at leaders who wish to develop their personal leadership style, create an environment of learning, empowerment and innovation, and who want to build capacity in an organisation that promotes an environment for outstanding performance improvement.

A leader’s success is and should be measured by a team’s performance.


what will you learn?

  • How to bring this change to life in your organisation on a practical level. Discover how the planning, design and resourcing of operations can impact the way work is done.

  • How to engage the wider audience in this conversation and the enabling leadership practices.

  • How to successfully navigate the complexities of the modern world of work, harnessing the potential of people through an improved understanding of why people do what they do.

  • How using a coaching-based approach helps individual and team problem-solving skills, leading to improved outcomes and accountability. 

  • How to engage stakeholders in self-determined change and encourage the exploration of what is working well within an organisation.

  • How to overcome common challenges to change.

  • How to re-imagine the evolving landscape of risk to achieve greater resilience and innovation.

  • How to motivate, engage and set others up for future success. 

In this program, we will explore the powerful shift that can be achieved when leaders engage with their audience to drive effective change, based on three core beliefs:

People are a solution to harness instead of a problem to control.

Leaders have an ethical responsibility to set people up for success through building engagement and partnership.

Rather than preventing unwanted outcomes, performance is based on building capacity that enables things to go well.
