ARISTOTLE
Facilitating Excellence
You may well know of us through our open programme of training and
development workshops for leaders, managers, coaches and facilitators.
You may not know that most of the work we do is tailor made to meet
the exact requirements of our clients. We specialize in Leadership
Development training and in training Facilitators
to run groups; our collective experience in this field is unrivalled.
Learning Edge Consulting has been running train the trainers’
programmes in all aspects of facilitation, from ‘one to one’
through to large group facilitation, for more than fifteen years.
More than 90% of our business is obtained by designing and facilitating
strategic business interventions and training and development workshops
for our clients. Some of our more recent interventions are described
on the following pages.
Leadership – Compatibility and Productivity
The Profound Leadership Programme, created by Learning
Edge Consulting, utilises FIRO Theory. It asserts that all human
beings have certain fundamental needs which need to be satisfied
in their everyday interaction and relationships with others. If
these needs are not met, the resulting relationships will be less
than optimal. In a business environment this will often result in
individuals, teams and even entire organisations functioning at
much less than their full potential. The Profound Leadership approach
recognizes that the person best placed to facilitate compatibility
is the team leader. This approach seeks to impart the self awareness,
knowledge, confidence, skills and abilities which team leaders require
in order to create, sustain and maintain compatible and productive
teams.
Leaders at all levels of expertise and authority have benefited
from this programme. At the time of writing, well over 600 managers,
leaders and executives, from team leaders and first line managers
to Chief Executive Officers have experienced the Profound Leadership
Programme.
Available as a three-day and five-day programme
A 360 degree feedback component is included in the in-house programme.

Management Development Training Programmes
Managers who have been promoted through the ranks are usually promoted
because of technical proficiency, product knowledge, experience,
time on the job, or a mixture of all of these. The paradox is that
many of these individuals never receive the support of any formal
management training and can therefore struggle to achieve their
full potential as managers. Our training programmes are aimed specifically
at helping these individuals release their full potential with astonishing
results!
Creating High Performing Top Teams
Working with the entire senior management team to refine their vision
and direction, to restructure management systems and implement newly
designed systems.
Team Building
Helping clients to implement effective teams and workgroups. Working
with team leaders and managers and the actual teams. Looking at
team roles, inclusion, control and openness, communication and the
use of power. Using a wide range of techniques and indoor and outdoor
locations.
Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation
in Organisations
An intensive five-day residential development programme which enables
participants to learn how to effectively manage relationships in
organisations based on the world class Human Element FIRO measures.
Learning Edge Consulting is licenced by Will Schutz Associates -
the creator of the Human Element FIRO method to deliver the entire
suite of workshops.
Advanced Facilitation Masterclass
A five-day intensive and highly participatory workshop for experienced
facilitators only. The masterclass provides in-depth training in
all aspects of facilitating small groups and will focus on and explore
the qualities, competencies and attributes successful facilitators

The Human Element

teams and organisations to help them unlock more of their potential

Testimonials
“We put 20 of our established shop floor supervisors
through the Leadership Development Programme, not only did every
single supervisor declare the programme the most practical they
had every attended, but the increase in efficiency after 2 months
was so dramatic from one of our Manufacturing Teams that we had
to check that the figures for time taken against time allowed was
correct! A 20% improvement on base times.
The course is designed to show managers at all levels how to maintain
compatible productive teams and it succeeds in every case, our plan
is to put every supervisor though this type of training as we believe
the return on investment is easily achieved within six months.
One of the biggest advantages of the course is its applicability
across all disciplines, such as Manufacturing, Purchasing, Finance,
Engineering, Servicing and Material Control, Supervisors from these
disciplines took the course together and applied the ethos in the
same manner, successfully in every case.
This is the most progressive, practical course I have ever encountered.”
