| Leadership
in emergencies is a key because the effectiveness of
an emergency response is directly linked to the quality
of the emergency teams on the ground. While emergency
team performance is subject to a wide range of variables,
experience has shown that the success of an emergency
response team is inherently tied to the competence and
effectiveness of its leader.
Participants in our training identify their strengths
and weaknesses as leaders and work on strengthening
their team leadership competencies (e.g. situational
leadership, teambuilding, direction setting, decision-making,
setting direction and communicating purpose, having
influence, practicing emotional intelligence, communication,
etc.).

For the IASC, comprised of UN and non-UN NGO humanitarian
partners, InterWorks has designed and is now facilitating
the Emergency Team Leadership Programme (ETLP).
The ETLP is a blended learning programme including
a pre-workshop distance learning component, a

of the ETLP is to provide emergency staff leaders
with comprehensive training to strengthen the
quality of leadership in humanitarian operations,
support stronger coordination between agencies,
and foster the development of best practice in
emergency leadership and management.
