When you’re navigating your way through an ocean full of icebergs, it’s important to be aware of not only what you can see above the water, but what lay beneath the surface. Underestimating icebergs can have major consequences for your ship.

This analogy holds true in leadership.

Whether we are managers, part of a leadership team or simply want to positively influence others, it is important to know that the behaviours we experience from everyone we encounter are supported by beliefs and feelings that reside beneath their exterior, out of sight. This can work both in our favour and against us. We have people whose behaviours are supported by either productive or unproductive thoughts or feelings or people whose behaviours.
What makes leadership tricky is this isn’t an either/or situation. We will have people who have positive thoughts holding up their iceberg in some scenarios but negative thoughts in others. Just as underestimating an iceberg can be the undoing of your ship, underestimating what lay beneath the surface of people’s behaviours can be the undoing of your change, team cohesion, engagement, psychological safety or success.

The good news is that as leaders, we can help influence what is supporting others’ icebergs.

What will I learn?

Over decades people have sort to understand human behaviour in many and varied ways. All evidence has pointed to the fact that we as human have needs that need to be met. In this course you will explore six of these different theories based on human behaviour and the needs of people. By putting these tools in your toolbox you will be able to:

Effectively search for meaning in people’s behaviours.
Build your skillset to facilitate performance more effectively.
Allow you a simplified and tailored way to address behaviours in a way that is supportive of the individual.
Improve the workplace environment to support more positive behaviours moving forward.
