Leadership & Team Development
Development that shows up in the work, not only in the room.
Leadership capability is built in what people do every day.
MA&C works with organisations to strengthen the practical behaviours that help leaders step up, communicate clearly, hold accountability, work through challenge and lead others with greater confidence in their judgement.
Development is designed to be useful beyond the room: grounded in real leadership situations, active participation and practical application.
When leadership development can help
Organisations often know they need stronger leadership capability before they know exactly what development should look like.
- capable people are stepping into leadership for the first time
- emerging leaders need a clearer pathway and practical development
- managers need greater confidence in feedback, accountability and difficult conversations
- a leadership team needs to work together more effectively
- organisational growth or change is asking more of leaders
- development needs to connect to real work rather than sit apart from it
Practical by design.
MA&C leadership development combines facilitated learning, reflection, discussion and application to real workplace situations.
The emphasis is on helping people understand what effective leadership looks like in practice and then giving them the opportunity to use it. Programmes and workshops can be shaped around the organisation, the cohort and the leadership context rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all training calendar.
The aim is stronger leadership practice, built in the work itself.
Leadership development
MA&C delivers structured development for emerging and first-time leaders through practical workshops and longer programmes. The work focuses on leadership behaviours people can use in real situations, with development shaped to the cohort and organisational context.
- Coaching conversations for performance
- Stepping up from peer or mate to manager
- Feedback and accountability
- Communication
- Strengths at work
- Emerging leader development
Team development
Team development is structured, facilitated work that helps leadership teams strengthen shared leadership practices and how they work together. The focus may include alignment, ways of working, accountability, communication, strengths, leadership expectations and practical team effectiveness.
It is appropriate when a group needs focused development around shared practices or ways of working. Team coaching is available separately where an ongoing coaching relationship is more useful.
The Living Leader's Personal Leadership Programme
A high-impact behavioural leadership experience for experienced managers and emerging senior leaders who already know how to manage, but need to strengthen how they lead.
The programme focuses on self-awareness, communication, courage, accountability, responsibility, influence and lasting behavioural change.
Jacquie McCann is an Associate Trainer for The Living Leader and delivers the programme for individuals and organisations across Australia.
Who facilitates
Development built for the work.
Jacquie facilitates this work from her own experience of leading teams and organisations, so the development stays anchored in the situations participants return to at work.
What leadership capability are you trying to build?
You do not need to begin with a programme already designed. Start with the leadership challenge, the people involved and what needs to be different.
