What do effective leaders do differently to create teams that perform, adapt and take ownership? High performance is not simply about targets and processes. The environment leaders create can directly influence how people think, behave, contribute and perform.

Masterclass Overview: 

This practical and interactive masterclass explores leadership through the combined lenses of organisational psychology, behavioural economics and applied neuroscience. Participants will examine how trust, autonomy, psychological safety, motivation, accountability and wellbeing influence behaviour and performance at work.

Rather than treating people skills as separate from business performance, the session explores the relationship between leadership behaviour and organisational outcomes including decision-making, productivity, engagement and retention.

Through practical leadership situations and active participation, delegates will explore evidence-informed approaches that can be applied to everyday conversations, team dynamics and management decisions.

Key Outcomes:

• Understand the psychological and behavioural conditions that support sustainable high performance and wellbeing
• Recognise leadership behaviours that can unintentionally reduce ownership, trust and performance
• Explore how trust, autonomy, motivation and psychological safety influence behaviour
• Apply practical techniques to strengthen accountability and motivation
