3 Old-School Leadership Principles You Need To Discard Immediately Wednesday 15th February 2023, 7.15am to 9.30am
Today's employees have very different expectations from their predecessors. They have a different definition of respect, a higher expectation about being involved in decision-making, a greater sense that they're owed exciting work and the expectation of fast career progression. On top of that, people's expectations of their managers have increased dramatically. When managers don't meet these expectations, staff can resign in droves, which companies can ill afford in 2023 when the labour market is so tight, and competition for top talent is at an all-time high. Join Diana Tapp, CEO of World Class Teams on February 15 to find out what old-school leadership principles your managers, supervisors and team leaders need to ditch right now so that you can confidently stem the flow of accomplished workers leaving your organisation.

Solutions For The Overworked And Overloaded Senior Leader Wednesday 17th August 2022, 7.30am to 9.30am
As a leader, hard work is a given. But if you find yourself starting to 'endure' rather than 'enjoy' your job, if you feel like you're 'pulling the wagon' almost single-handedly, or you're constantly putting in too many hours and putting out too many fires, your career and reputation is likely at risk. Being overworked and overloaded stops you from being strategic. Decisions can be rushed and therefore are sometimes not the best ones. You can't see serious problems easily, creative thinking becomes impaired, and critical interpersonal skills suffer. Research proves that working too hard will actually make you a less effective leader. It doesn't have to be this way. Join us for a must-see masterclass where Australia's #1 High-Performance Team Consultant, Diana Tapp, will reveal how to cure the overworked and overloaded senior leader. In this masterclass, you'll discover:

5 Cutting-Edge Skills Your Staff Must Have By 2025 Thursday 17th February 2022, 7.30am to 9.30am
According to the World Economic Forum's 2020 'The Future of Jobs Report', 44% of the skills employees need to perform effectively in their roles, will change by 2025. Some jobs will cease to exist, roles will be redefined, and new occupations will surface and become the norm. As artificial intelligence and machines do more of what your people have traditionally done – optimise, automate, calculate, replicate – your people need to upskill and gain expertise in the uniquely human competencies – emotional intelligence, collaboration, critical thinking, “human skills”. Businesses that fail to reskill and adapt will struggle to survive. Those who do upskill their staff will stand head and shoulders above the rest. The good news is that these future skills are learnable, and you can start developing them today. Join us for our first Breakfast Masterclass of 2022 where Australia's #1 High-Performance Team Consultant, Diana Tapp, will reveal the five core skills you need to develop to not only survive, but thrive, during the challenges ahead.
