Training programme

1. The role of communication in leadership

Leadership communication shapes how decisions are understood, accepted and acted on by the team. Participants examine the role of communication in a leader’s work, compare communication styles and their impact, and strengthen authenticity and consistency in day-to-day leadership practice.

  • the importance of communication in a leader's work,
  • communication styles and their impact on the team,
  • authenticity and consistency in leadership communication.

2. Interpersonal communication in the team

Effective teamwork starts with everyday exchanges that make people feel heard and respected. Here the focus is on active listening, paraphrasing and communication habits that build trust, openness, empathy and emotional intelligence in professional relationships across the team.

  • active listening and paraphrase,
  • building trust and openness,
  • empathy and emotional intelligence in professional relationships.

3. Difficult conversations and providing feedback

Giving corrective input without damaging the relationship requires structure and emotional awareness. The section covers constructive criticism, developmental feedback and ways to respond to employee resistance, using FUKO, SBI and GROW models as practical frameworks for difficult conversations.

  • constructive criticism and developmental feedback,
  • how to respond to employees' emotions and resistance,
  • the FUKO / SBI / GROW model in practice.

4. Motivating communication of the leader

Motivating people to act depends not only on what a leader says, but also on how the message is delivered. This part develops the language of motivation and recognition, and shows how non-verbal communication reinforces credibility, energy and commitment in everyday team interactions.

  • how to inspire the team to take action,
  • the language of motivation and recognition,
  • the role of non-verbal communication.

5. Managing conflict and emotions in the team

Conflicts rarely escalate without earlier warning signs, so the emphasis is on spotting sources of tension before they harden into disputes. Participants work with mediation and de-escalation techniques, as well as neutral, supportive messages that help address emotions without deepening division.

  • early identification of sources of conflict,
  • mediation and de-escalation techniques,
  • neutral and supportive forms of communication.

6. Communication in change and crisis situations

During change and crisis, the leader’s message must reduce uncertainty rather than amplify it. The section focuses on how to inform the team about changes in a clear way, while maintaining transparency and consistency so that communication remains credible under pressure.

  • how to inform the team about changes,
  • transparency and consistency in the message.
