This course is a prerequisite for attending the following TTLP courses / workshops: • Productivity and Positive Culture • Communication and Conflict resolution • Tall Teams • Capacity Building • EQ related workshops An engaged learning platform is provided which will have delegates participating on an interactive level with each other and the facilitator. This course will be presented in association with Tall Trees Profiles, facilitated by accredited Tall Trees Facilitators, whom will also include experienced Chartered Accountants. Some of the softer and more intangible aspects of corporate life will be addressed here. Tall Trees empowers every young person and adult with answers to six central questions: What are my Forces Within (my unique strengths)? Where are my Fields of Greatness (the situations where I belong and where I should take the lead)? What is my Fertilizer (what I need to flourish)? What is my Frostbite (things that tap my energy and prevent me from functioning optimally)? Why do Forest Fires suddenly rage through my relationships (what are my communication and conflict management styles)? What pushes me into Fast Forward (the mountain I have to climb in order to truly grow as an individual and team member)?

Leaders know where to stand There is an idiom about the highest trees catching the most wind. That is true! Leadership always entails challenges and resistance. When the tree is, however, planted in exactly the right spot, the wind makes it a strong, supple tree that offers other trees shelter and spreads its lifegiving seed on the wind. A tree that is placed in the wrong spot will be damaged, will cause damage and will have to be supported with great trouble. The task determines the leader In any company, the nurturing and development of a person who has been planted wrongly will demand long programmes at very high cost. The employee is developed and driven in a direction that goes against his grain. In schools, this causes frustration and damage to the (children’s) self-image. In a family, this means role conflict and the loss of mutual respect. All of these are the result of a leader appointed in the wrong position. At Tall Trees we do not, therefore, develop a set of “preferred leadership qualities”” because each task and context demand unique leadership traits. Tall Trees place the same emphasis on leadership with a task focus and leadership with a human focus. Our task is the discovery of every person’s unique, inborn leadership style. This highlights specific tasks and situations that suit the leader to a T.
