Course Description

Crisis Leadership: leading in tough times

Leadership through crisis using inspirational management techniques


Maybe you’re staring down the barrel of an economic downturn, just received news of an upcoming disruptive industry change, or a threatening competitor is about to open its doors. Whatever the challenge, this course will reframe your outlook to have a lasting positive impact as an inspirational leader.


This practical course will give you the insight required to manage and motivate your team through tough times with confidence - whether you run a sole trader or an international corporation. Featuring real-world examples, this course will ensure you weather tough times, and even transform challenges into opportunities for growth.


Unlike other change/crisis management courses this course is closely focused on the leader’s state of mind and how to handle the relationships and mindsets of team members. It is particularly geared toward finding a vision, connecting with others and having a lasting positive impact as a courageous and inspirational leader. Nigel looks at leadership from a Psychological perspective (of which he has a PhD) and covers leading in general; whether you're a CEO, a Team Leader, a Business Owner, even as the head of a family... anyone who needs to lead!


We’ll delve into the backbone of any good company - its people. We’ll discuss the different personality types you might find on your team and how each of these can be leveraged to handle any obstacle. We’ll look at how creating a cohesive vision for your business can pull everyone together and why you shouldn’t ignore your failures. This course will allow you to implement a culture of purpose, innovation and adaptability.

The course overview includes:

  • Practical tools and techniques to help you become a better leader

  • How to spot different personality types

  • Tools to help you define a vision that inspires and unites your team

  • Create an ensemble mentality where every team member understands their role and contribution to the group

  • Find it easy to assign people tasks based on their individual strengths and weaknesses

  • Learn what you as a unique individual can bring to the table and how you make a difference

  • How to transform challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation

  • Discover the importance of sacrifice and celebration

  • If you are ready to make practical changes and become a better leader this course is for you!

Nigel Nicholson is the Professor of Organisational Behaviour at The London Business School and is the Author of multiple award winning books; the most relevant to this course being 'The "I" of Leadership'. He has a PhD in Psychology and has spent decades studying, analysing and lecturing on the subject of Leadership; you'd be hard-pressed to find someone more qualified than Nigel on the subject!


By the time you finish this course, you’ll be able to guide your organisation through any difficult period of change. As well as understanding the emotional needs of your colleagues, you’ll be adept at assigning them roles that are best suited to their strengths and personality types. You’ll find it easy to reframe a tough situation and navigate your way to a positive outcome.


If you dream of confidently leading your organisation towards a brighter future, fostering a culture of resilience, positivity and innovation then this is the course for you.

Great video! Very inspirational and down-to-earth advice. I loved the real world examples (i.e.. local bank, to a large firm and finally to the 2-year expedition)
