Leadership Master Class Overview
Leadership is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, particularly in the sporting world. This course is designed to enhance personal leadership styles and to support leadership journeys of coaches.
Participants will examine how sports leaders build culture and align it with strategy to effectively transform performance, be it at the individual, team or organisational level.

Leadership Master Class topics
Being a better leader and change manager
While there is no single view of what truly effective leaders do, we know that better leaders reveal specific behaviours and skills that motivate and inspire others. This workshop, presented by Professor Victor Callan will explore the latest thinking about leadership, sports leadership and your best practices as a leader. The workshop will then review leadership styles, and the value of authenticity and being a more transformational leader. The second part of the workshop will focus upon the leadership of change, examining various models and tools of change management that can be applied to sports settings, and ideas around changing the culture of a club or team. See full Master Class program.
Thinking and acting strategically
The art and science of strategic leadership is at once complex and simple. Strategy is about making choices about what you will do as an organisation – and not do. This workshop, presented by Greg Latemore, will explore current thinking on strategic management, review some models and tools that strategists use, and critique and apply these to the world of sports leadership. The second part of the workshop will look at ‘value innovation’, arguably the ‘next generation’ in strategic entrepreneurship. While reviewing some of the theory, we will ‘do strategy’ in a real, practical way – to position you and your Club for sustainable competitive success. See full Master Class program.
