ETHICAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME (ELP)
For owners, managers and supervisors. Ethically sustainable leadership and management programme to support your ethical business.
Though the leadership level in the wine industry may be small statistically, they have an incumbent role to play in the wine industry’s sustainable success. Their leadership filters down to all levels to influence and manage wine industry wellbeing. These factors include physical, mental, social and also financial dynamics and with their astute understanding of ethical behaviour and its positive impact, the actions that follow will contribute significantly to the transformation involved in the wine chain.
This management system will integrate strong management principles with the ethical realities and possibilities for a successful outcome across the full supply chain and build leadership and management skills through facilitated sessions, coaching, consulting support and electronic tools available to ensure sustainable transformations by integrating their understanding into all the processes and in-depth procedures that support it. The goal of the ELP programme is to equip the various leadership levels with insights and skills to incrementally move towards successfully leading and managing their people and environments towards sustained ethical and social cohesive success, contributing to financial stability
The outcomes of ELP work towards:
- Leading effective communication realities in the workplace for successful workplace relationships and production outcomes

2. Follow up Coaching Sessions to sustain impact
Coaching seeks to support insights and skills needed by different levels to own their skills and as leadership level together apply this to manage their people and the business effectively
Guidance takes the form of private one on one sessions where goals are identified, realities are reflected upon and the coachee identifies their best options and solutions to move forward.
What is coaching and what is the value and impact in this programme?
Coaching is a safe thinking space to stimulate and empower the person being coached to find their own solutions and actions to their challenges and opportunities as a leader. A coach is deliberately not part of the work environmental order to stay objective and comes with expertise in coaching whilst the person being coached is the expert in their own environment and the solutions and next steps lie within them. The coaching process allows for the way forward to be identified and actioned by the person or group being coached
Coaching principles:
G – what are the goals you wish to achieve on the farm/workplace?
R – what realities are at play that could assist or block achieving the goals that will need to be addressed?
O – Options speak to what and how these realities need to be prioritised, addressed and achieved
W – which steps and actions must be taken to move towards the goals?
Who will be coached?
- Producer /Owner leadership: to grow their leadership skills to facilitate healthy communication and relationship in the workplace at the strategic level AND operational level
- Manager/Supervisory leadership: to grow their leadership skills to facilitate healthy communication and relationships in the workplace at operational level
- Collective farm leadership Coaching: Joint coaching to ensure that the levels support one another and allow one another to play their respective roles from a cohesive leadership approach
*Coaching is farm specific only
