COURSE OVERVIEW:

All good leaders require a number of skills to help them positively interact with employees or team members. Effective leaders have the ability to communicate well, motivate their team, handle and delegate responsibilities, listen to feedback, and have the flexibility to solve problems in an ever-changing workplace.

Leadership skills are the tools, behaviours, and capabilities that a person needs in order to be successful at motivating and directing others. Yet true leadership skills involve something more; the ability to help people grow in their own abilities.

Leaders are people of influence. Their enthusiasm and joy for what they do is infectious. It inspires others. They focus on developing competent, confident people who do the right thing daily. They focus on growing their organisations. It can be said that the most successful leaders are those that drive others to achieve their own success.

There is good news for anyone who doesn’t consider themselves a born leader or who has specific areas of leadership skills that need work; leadership skills can be learned. All that is required is an open mind, patience with yourself as you learn these skills, and the commitment to put what you learn into action.

In this course, you’ll be given information to help you start building your leadership skills immediately. You will be given specific tools and tips so that you’ll be able to take what you learn back to your work environment and apply it the moment you are done reading. If you do, you will be amazed at how quickly you can improve your leadership abilities. You’ll start to see those around you react to you differently. You’ll find that work can be a more pleasant place to be and that you truly can lead others on to their own success.
