2 2016 Clariden Global Executive Education Moving from Technical Professional to FACULTY DIRECTOR Tim Wilke Best Selling Author Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management and Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors Tim Wilke is a renowned author on current leadership thinking that involves the latest neuroscientific research on what makes a successful leader. His #1 best-selling book Look Inside: Discovering the secret to leadership success and 100 Things you should know about Leadership and Employee Engagement has received rave reviews from its readers. A Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management, a Life Fellow of the International Biographical Association, and a Member of the Australian Institute of Company, Tim is recognized by Who s Who in Australasia and the Far East, International Leaders in Achievement and International Directory of Distinguished Leadership for his contribution of over 50 research papers published internationally. Previously a Medical Scientist at the Commonwealth Government Pathology Laboratory and an Organizational Development and Quality Manager at St. Vincent s Private Hospital, he understood the power of working well with people and applying commonsense leadership principles that served him well when making the transition into his role as CEO for 13 years in a large not-for-profit company with an agenda of primary health care reform. Throughout his career, he has worked with a wide range of community leaders, administrators, managers, policy advisors and health professionals including GPs. Maintaining that intense curiosity for knowing how things work, his focus shifted from science to people and in particular, the areas of leadership and how to maximize the capability of a company through its people. Tim has offered his mentorship to a series of local and state programs such as Australian Institute of Management and the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce and Industry Future Leaders Program. What people have to say about Tim Wilke s leadership expertise (within the context of his book, Look Inside: Discovering the secret to leadership success ) The subject of leadership in business is usually only interesting to academics and students on the topic, but suffers from being somewhat dry and uninteresting to those who really need it. What Tim has managed to do with Look Inside is to approach the subject from an entirely different perspective that engages the reader. In it, he relates some sophisticated management and leadership theory, but not in a way that becomes cumbersome or heavy. Geoff Butler, Business Improvement & Implementation Specialist Tim Wilke has spent his life researching and testing leadership skills. This book combines all his expertise and experiences. Extremely valuable for anyone (who wants) to achieve their career goals. Christina Barron, General Manager, Carbal Medical Centre (This book) is set to become the next big thing in leadership training for both individuals and trainers. Weaved through the storyline is a powerful leadership system as well as a step-by-step methodology to incorporate the system into your life.

4 2016 Clariden Global Executive Education Moving from Technical Professional to PROGRAM INTRODUCTION Technical professionals generally lack management and leadership skills as their expertise emphasizes logic and reasoning, while management and leadership requires more soft skills than technical expertise. According to a research by GP Strategies, about 53% of organizations do not offer a specialized training program or workshop to equip technical professionals who have been recently promoted into management and leadership roles transition with the necessary skills to transition into their new roles effectively. As such, technical professionals face increasing difficulties in managing their subordinates and coping with the change in professional identity when they first move into management roles. They find it difficult to effectively communicate and build trust with their team members and do not understand what effective management entails or how to implement people-management practices, creating the biggest hurdle to becoming an effective manager and leader. Without systematic training, they will not be able to motivate staff to operate at their best, which can create a poor performance team culture as well as poor productivity and low employee engagement, which will damage the organization s long-term wellbeing. In addition, managers themselves face great frustration and confidence setback when such issues occur, as they reflect poorly on their competency and career prospects. Designed specifically for technical people with new management responsibility, this 2-day intensive executive program will show you how to build your skills in leading, managing, empowering, influencing and driving the performance of others to meet organizational and personal objectives. Led by best-selling leadership author, Tim Wilke, you will spend time building feedback, coaching and mentoring skills that will enable you to manage, lead and motivate your team to deliver exceptional results.
