Moolarben Coal Step Up

Solution

A customised step up training program contextualised to the specific issues facing the mine and its future leaders as well as the organisation’s current policies and programs.

The supervisors learned the key components of leading a team with a focus on:

  • delegation
  • time management
  • leadership styles
  • communication and workplace relationships
  • teamwork and organisational goals.

Human synergistics tools were used to give participants a deep insight into their own as well as other people’s current thinking, behaviour and leaderships styles. The process is then expanded to enable the supervisors to see how others view them.

The assessment was highly practical using a combination of in tray activities and role plays in coaching, mentoring, performance discussions and conflict management. Management interviews also allowed supervisors to provide specific examples of how they show leadership in your workplace.

Results

The 18 supervisors successfully completed the program. As the learning outcomes are competency-based, the supervisors obtained five units of competency that can be credited towards the Certificate IV in Leadership and Management.

Keys to success

  • The customisation of the program material to align with the mines; policies, procedures and programs.

Feedback from the participants and their managers shows the program was an outstanding success. Forsythes Training took the time to completely contextualise the course to make it relevant and realistic to our staff. All of the participants enjoyed the delivery of the course and it provided them with significant insights into improving their leadership and communication styles within the workplace. As a business we have seen these staff improve their delegation, staff performance management and their planning and decision making capabilities.
