COURSE OVERVIEW:
Should you care about developing your leadership skills? You should care. By developing your leadership skills, you are assured a more rewarding and successful career. You will make a greater difference in every organisation in which you work. You will lift the performance of everyone who works with you. If you aspire to greater responsibility and the rewards that follow, then learning how to be a great leader is a necessary step to getting there. Opportunities and rewards in your organisation will surely increase if you are an effective leader.
Your organisation needs you to be a strong and effective leader. Research presented in this course proves there is a high correlation between leadership effectiveness and the results that leaders produce. Your organisation needs you to be more than “adequate” in your leadership. While those who learn to lead get better results than those who don’t, one startling conclusion presented in this course is the huge difference between the merely good and the extraordinary leader.
Unfortunately, the concept of leadership continues to be shrouded in misunderstanding. Ask 100 people to define leadership, and you are sure to get 100 different responses. So one objective of this course is to provide a simple and practical definition of leadership.
Great leaders are defined by having a small number of real strengths. Exceptional leaders don’t get there because they are flawless. And, conversely, they are not exceptional leaders because they do 180 things remarkably well.
This course describes how the acquisition of certain strengths help make you an extraordinary leader. This course explains the many important behaviours that differentiate the best leaders from the least effective. These are the behaviours that subordinates, peers and bosses notice. These are the behaviours that you should work on developing. The lessons explained in this course are the stepping stones that you can follow to become an extraordinary leader.
