1207 Leadership Development Program

The 1207 Leadership Development Program is grounded in the understanding that leadership capacity grows both through horizontal development (acquiring skills) and vertical development (how we perform them).

This program isn’t a quick fix — like any development journey, the value you gain will reflect the effort you invest. It’s designed to help you identify your growth areas and create a meaningful plan to address them. As with any change, consistent practice is key. Over time, new behaviours will integrate and become part of how you lead.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

  1. Enable leaders to identify their strengths and development areas, building self-awareness and agency to initiate their own learning.

  2. Contribute to a developmental culture where leaders recognise they don’t need to be the best at everything and can openly ask for support.

  3. Support the development of leadership capabilities such as:

    • Giving and receiving constructive feedback

    • Navigating conflict and tensions

    • Fostering collaboration and shared ownership

PROGRAM STRUTURE

Part 1 - Self & System Review

To help you generate self-awareness and guide the focus of the coaching; a self-review questionnaire will be provider to assist you explore areas of growth and opportunities for development. It will also start the process of identifying personal goals or intentions, for what you want to get out of the coaching process. The questions will also include reflection questions on how you see Morris Group and working within it.

The self review is estimated to take between 1 - 1.5 hours.

Part 2 - 360 Peer Feedback

As part of your leadership development, you will receive feedback from six people. This will include:

  • Two people who report to you

  • Two of your peers

  • Two people you report to

This full-circle approach gives you insight from all angles – hence the name 360 Feedback.

You will receive clear guidelines to help you select participants who can offer constructive, honest, thoughtful, and kind feedback.

The feedback will be gathered through a tailored questionnaire and presented to you as a summary report. All responses will remain anonymous to ensure participants feel comfortable.

This is not an assessment, but a valuable opportunity for self-awareness and growth, designed to support your leadership journey.

Part 3 - Developmental Coaching

Each leader will have three 50 minute developmental coaching sessions with Hayley, approximately one per month.

The coaching approach will draw on adult development theory and support vertical development — helping leaders examine not just their challenges, but how to they relate to them. This includes:

  • Exploring mindsets, assumptions and identity-level patterns

  • Working with tension, discomfort, and dilemmas as gateways to growth

  • Exploring beliefs and supporting perspective widening and shifts

All sessions will be confidential.
