Leading with Purpose: Your Style Revisited

Revisit your leadership style, challenge established habits and reset how you lead with greater purpose and adaptability.

Experience gives you perspective, but the way people work keeps changing. Familiar leadership habits may need a fresh look when teams become hybrid, priorities shift or you want to develop others more deliberately. We understand the value of stepping back without starting again. Bring what you know; make room for what comes next.

Why this course matters

Experience is valuable; taking a fresh look at its impact makes it more useful.

What you’ll explore in the Lab

Leadership habits that once served you well can become less effective as your responsibilities grow and the people you lead change. Designed for managers with three or more years’ experience, leaders stepping into bigger roles and those who feel they have plateaued, this course creates space for an honest review of your approach.

Through reflection and peer feedback, you will examine your strengths and blind spots, reconnect with your values and explore how to adapt your style to different people. You will define a clear leadership purpose and build a practical reset plan to guide changes in your everyday leadership.

a real challenge. a purposeful response.

The challenges this addresses

Leadership habits no longer fitting the team
Intention and the experience of colleagues drifting apart
Established management habits carried unchanged into a larger role
Personal leadership purpose unclear after years of operational demands

What this can change at work

Experience is valuable, but it deserves a fresh look. Established managers examine the habits that help or hinder them, consider how colleagues experience their leadership and practise adapting to the people they lead. A clear personal purpose and practical reset plan can give individuals renewed direction, help teams experience more considered leadership and support the organisation as managers grow into broader or changing responsibilities.

Habits examined honestly

Managers identify specific leadership habits to retain or change, considering how those behaviours affect the people they lead each day.

Style matched to people

Leaders consider the needs of different colleagues before deciding how to communicate, offer support or approach an everyday leadership situation.

A purposeful reset

A personal leadership purpose informs a practical reset plan, giving managers clear changes to test rather than a general intention to improve.

Inside the workshop

This interactive half-day session brings together 6–8 delegates for structured reflection, breakout discussions and peer-to-peer learning focused on leadership habits, strengths and blind spots. Live practice gives you space to explore adapting your approach to different people, with peer feedback to challenge your thinking. You leave with a clear personal leadership purpose and a practical reset plan grounded in your values.
