Elegant management of people and group dynamics
Have It All
Some leaders need more credibility and gravitas. Others need more approachability, better rapport and people skills. Charismatic leaders access either approach, adapting their style to the people, time and environment. They achieve the quickest route to the objective with maximum effectiveness. Now it's possible to learn how to master this ability.
Evidence-Based Development
Based on extensive research conducted by Michael Grinder, this solution provides leaders with an insight into the nuances of body language, voice pitch and tone to take them to a new level of influence. The work is equally effective when addressing individuals and groups and has a direct and dramatic impact on presentation skills.
After an initial assessment of current preferred styles, where interactions are filmed, the tutor can provide individual coaching and group input for maximum effect.
Short activities will demonstrate how we are programmed to defer to dominant communicators, and how small changes in the way we behave in groups can have an immediate impact on the way we influence.
Problem People
Research has demonstrated that ‘problem people’ are not a problem all the time and are often the result of inappropriate leadership style. In meetings and large gatherings, ‘problem people’ are likely to find their stage, unless a charismatic leadership style is applied to draw positive attention away from the distracting influences of these few. Knowing how to change the dynamics of a group is an essential skill of a professional leader and is crucial during times of pressure and change.
Advantages to be gained:
- present with impact
- manage ‘problem people’
- communicate more effectively
- get your ideas heard
- improve relationships
- get buy-in and agreement
- improve sales meetings
- motivate your team
- influence decisions
- predict responses
- build trust & loyalty
- advance career potential
- be charismatic!
Leaders can 'up their charisma quotient' by building on their own natural personality traits and learning how to deal with different types of people. Technical brilliance alone may not be enough. But when you combine high expertise with a compelling persona, the positive type of charismatic leadership results.

- Identify context for development and styles currently in use
