Are your organisation’s leaders effective? Are you an effective leader?
Hello.
This month’s newsletter focusses on leadership and management.
Some important questions for you. Are your organisation’s leaders effective? Are you an effective leader?
To maintain viability, your organisation needs leaders and managers who can continually adapt to ever-changing conditions and customer needs.
The good news is that people aren’t born leaders. Leaders are made by continually developing their leadership skills. The team at Forsythes Training know those skills and have decades of experience in delivering training, coaching and mentoring to aspiring and existing leaders. Our expert trainers all have real-world leadership experience in a range of industries.
If you are thinking about leadership skills training, please get in touch.

Insight – Free guide to building effective leadership development programs
According to the University of Melbourne’s Study of Australian Leadership, more than 40% of businesses fail to meet performance targets because their leaders lack fundamental management skills.
Leading a team demands a specific skill set that takes time, effort, and education to master. Investing in leadership training gives professionals the tools to make better decisions, build high-performing teams, and bolster innovation.
Using our decades of experience in developing and delivering successful leadership and management training, we’ve put together a handy guide on developing effective leadership programs for leaders as well as HR, training and organisational development professionals. The free guide (no download or email required) explores:
- the importance of and benefits of leadership skills development programs
- the various forms of leadership training
- what to consider when choosing the right program for your career and organisation.

The power of coaching and mentoring after leadership training
Developing effective leadership skills is an ongoing process. A training course is an excellent beginning to give people knowledge, skills and tools.
The challenge for new and emerging leaders is applying and embedding those lessons from the course in the real world.
One effective solution is post training coaching, mentoring or a combination of the two. Coaching and mentoring reinforces training learnings about what to do to be an effective leader. Plus, it provides customised support and accountability to do it well.
Our experienced team members have different skills and styles, allowing us to match leaders with the right coach or mentor for maximum impact.
If you’ve completed leadership training or have invested in leadership training for your team, don’t let the momentum fade. Maximise that initial investment with customised individual or group coaching or mentoring
