Leading in MiningCIM LeadershipDevelopment Program

CIM’s comprehensive Leadership Development Program specifically designed for mining, minerals & materialsindustry professionals

What makesLeading in Miningunique?The LEADING IN MINING CIM Leadership DevelopmentProgram is unlike any other: four combined elementsmake it unique and incredibly effective.

One industry: learning more

about the industry

Different organizations:freedom to

speak openly

Hierarchical mix: new appreciation and awareness

Action, not justknowledge

LEADING IN MINING is a program for all management levels and positions from themining, minerals and materials industry. Participants share solutions, targeting industry-specific leadership challenges. For example, the CIM program brings minesuperintendents together with investor relations professionals, effectively broadening theirknowledge of the entire industry and gaining a better understanding of all aspects of theindustry.

LEADING IN MINING is a program for people from different organizations. Whileeffective leaders must freely state their views in a way that can be heard, participants inmany in-house leadership programs are cautious in how they choose to share andchallenge other’s views. This is avoided in this program, which allows participants toengage fully unencumbered by the politics of the organization. This in turn leads to a morevigorous exploration of issues, significantly enhances skill development and ultimatelyresults in the development of confidence and skill in speaking one’s truth.

Regardless of one’s level in the hierarchy, all leaders need to effectively interact with others.Yet most leadership programs are designed solely for those at the same level ofresponsibility despite the fact we know leadership is non-hierarchical; we need leaders atevery level.

In LEADING IN MINING, experienced directors value the opportunity to explore theirleadership skills alongside superintendents for whom it is their first experience of reflectingon their leadership skills, with unique and powerful results. Participants from varioushierarchical levels learn about environments they are unaware of or have lost touch with,and gain a new appreciation of those at other levels. The CIM leadership developmentprogram breaks down hierarchical barriers.

Every 15 to 30 seconds, employees will subconsciously discard knowledge that isunnecessary for meeting their day-to-day work requirements. Therefore leadership skillsthat cannot be immediately applied to an leaders’ job role will likely be forgotten beforethey have an opportunity to be used. This explains why only 27% of participants in otherleadership programs find their programs to be effective. LEADING IN MINING isdifferent. As participants acquire new information, so they have to apply it – now, not manymonths or years in the future.

TopicsThe content will be customized to meet the unique needs of each cohort. However, each cohortwill cover the following topics:

• Effective leadership in today’s organizations• Leadership communication• Decision-making• Team development• Leading in the mining, minerals and materials industry• Career development in the mining, minerals and materials industry• Personal self-awareness and resilience• Leading for high performance• Creating accountability• Organizational systems• Building relationships• Organizational change and culture• Using feedback to inspire performance• Working with communities• Conflict management• Leading in a global environment

The design on the right offers the framework from which a customized design is developed.

Format• Program launch with the three-day workshop I: location varies by cohort• Extensive intersession (on the job) activities: approx. 16 hrs/month• Four-day workshop II takes place in another location• Intersession work continues, with the addition of mentoring• Mine site visit takes place just prior to workshop III• Final three-day workshop III is in another location • Formal activities end; but informal activities continue

Program DesignWorkshop sessions:A combination of lectures, case studies, experiential activities and group discussions.

Intersession activities: Participants apply the skills learned during the workshop sessions in their actualworkplaces. Learning continues through bi-weekly assignments and online discussions.

Coaching: Coaching initially takes place with the facilitator, and is then followed by the participants whodevelop their own coaching skills with their program colleagues. All participants can listen inon coaching calls so they can both learn how to coach and offer their own experience to theperson being coached.

Result• Deep, real and unbounded

learning• Real-time changes in leadership

behaviour• Significantly enhanced industry

understanding, awareness andappreciation

• Leaders willing and able to leadwithout limitations

Ultimately, leaders are betterequipped to face the challenges,complexity and ambiguity of leadingin today’s global mining industry.
