Studies suggest that 70 per cent of employees are more engaged when their leaders foster a growth mindset, said Head of Group Strategic Marketing and Communications at Baiduri Bank Ng Yick Wei during the masterclass and workshop on ‘Transforming Your Leadership Mindset to Create a Transformative Team’ at the Baiduri Community Space on Wednesday.
“The masterclass-workshop was an important training and development opportunity for managers from organisations of all sizes, to strengthen their leadership abilities as they engage talents with different individual goals, specialty areas and backgrounds,” she added.
The masterclass, part of this year’s Transform 2024 programme for Brunei small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs, was participated by 47 business owners, entrepreneurs and members of the corporate sector.
Conducted by Counselling Psychologist and Managing Director of Clarity Sdn Bhd Todd McPherson, the event allowed participants to critically challenge existing management and leadership approaches to enable honest reflection and peer-sharing opportunities for learning and development.
“With a one-day agenda that covers four areas of modifying mindset, the GROW methodology, securing employee and team buy-in, and coaching for high performance, my goal was to equip the participants with the knowledge and confidence to embrace transformative leadership,” McPherson said.
Through guided processes, participants will be pushed outside their comfort zones into new pathways for getting the best out of themselves and the team, he added. – Lyna Mohamad
