Module Overviews

360-degree Feedback and Debrief

360-feedback is provided confidentially using an online tool, and the report will serve as the springboard for creating a personal development plan for each participant on the program. We ensure that the 360 is interpreted correctly by analyzing and summarizing it ahead of time.

Manager Meeting (optional)

This optional and self-directed step enhances the odds of success by ensuring that the participant and their manager are on the same page with respect to the development goal and the required environment to succeed. Kwela provides an agenda on how to run this meeting.

Skills Workshops

Skills workshops are based on Kwela’s online video courses, with full materials provided for review. The workshops are 45-60 min in length and can be reviewed / repeated anytime over the license period, which is 12 months.

Coaching Meetings

Support from a professional coach is the main development mechanism of the leadership development program. The coach works confidentially with the participant to determine their specific challenges and helps formulate practical action plans. This also includes a teaching component where necessary.

Re-assessment (Mini-Feedback Survey)

The mini-feedback survey is used to provide confidential feedback on the extent to which the participant was able to reach his/her personal development goal that was set at the beginning of the program. It is a short, focused survey generated by the participant and is administered online by Kwela with a group of responders of the participant’s choosing.

Final Debrief

Results of the reassessment are debriefed with the coach in a confidential 1:1 setting, and we plan on how to sustain the new behaviours.

Fees

The fee for all above elements is $1,985 (GST is billed in addition).

We’ve worked with Kwela in the field of leadership development and have found that it was a very effective way to develop the skills of our leaders and managers, as well as build team cohesiveness.
