The NSW Resources Regulator has prepared a number of Facts Sheets to help industry better understand the role of associated non-technical skills (ANTS) in the certificate of competence scheme and the type of training programs that may be delivered to address those requirements.
The following extracts are taken from Facts Sheet No.7 which addresses Leadership.
‘Leadership training
Leadership training is important both for leaders and the people they lead. The training should improve a person’s skills and knowledge and their ability to adapt to circumstances. Leadership training should include developing knowledge of other team members’ roles to coordinate communication and team performance, critical thinking skills and continuous learning. Critical thinking promotes a leader’s ability to self assess their performance and examine their own actions. When learning new leadership skills, people need the chance to observe, learn, practise and receive feedback about their performance.
Leadership development
Good ideas for leadership development include:
- Successful leadership development needs an influential champion
- Leaders can be found everywhere; leadership development should be encouraged throughout an organisation
- Effective leadership development is tied to specific business goals
- Leadership development can be used to promote the organisation’s values and build a strong and consistent culture
- Leadership development is a process not a ‘one-off’
- Success in leadership development is more likely with consistent implementation rather than through innovative practices
- Leaders should breed leaders. High performance leaders should help design and deliver the leadership program
- Leadership development is about creating ‘entrepreneurial change agents’ who provide creative solutions in complex situations
- Leadership development is an investment, and like most investments it may be years before the dividends begin to flow.’
