Honda Supplier Leadership Skills & Style Development Program
presented by LEADInstitute

The Leadership Skills & Style Development (LSSD) is designed around proven leadership tools, skills and concepts. The goal of LSSD is to assist your managers and frontline leaders in better matching their leadership approach to the performance needs of the organization and the maturity, motivational and skill levels of their associates. LSSD incorporates the following three focus areas into the learning process and provides participants with the insight and hands-on skill practice needed for personal improvement.

Focus Area I — Work Unit Performance Improvement:
This is LSSD’s central area of focus. All learning content relates back to improving work unit performance, enhancing associate development and making the work unit a better place in which to work. Participants learn how to improve the factors that impact associate performance, including how they lead and manage.

Focus Area II — Personal Style & Interpersonal Skills:
In this focus area participants gain an in-depth understanding of their personal style at work. A benefit of deeper personal awareness is the ability to better manage interpersonal relationships at work. They learn when and how to leverage their personal strengths, confront their liabilities and develop strategies for changing their behavior at work. Participants strengthen their communication effectiveness by applying the principles of assertiveness; adult-to-adult communication, improved listening skills and controlling nonverbal behavior.

Focus Area III — Leading & Managing Others:
In this focus area participants learn techniques for bringing about greater levels of associate motivation and performance improvement. Participants access their preferred leadership approach in regard to Directing, Coaching, Counseling and Delegating. They then learn to evaluate the skills and motivational readiness of their associates and when, how and with whom to apply the appropriate leadership approach. Participants practice using these four leadership approaches and are given specific tools for on-the-job application.
