Course Information
The Essential Elements of Leadership Effectiveness
Course Description
In this course we’ll go beyond the basics of management and explore what it takes to be a true leader. While many people can manage projects and direct subordinates toward task accomplishment, creating a culture where people feel like they are a part of a team and want to produce at their highest level requires a different skill set. In this presentation, participants will learn 10 foundational characteristics of great leadership and how they affect their teammates. They will also discover how to effectively solve problems and make decisions. By practicing, mastering, and modeling these attributes and strategies, you’ll become the kind of leader people want to follow. You and your team will reach higher levels of performance and produce better results. Ultimately, by creating this kind of culture, you’ll increase employee engagement, reduce many of the people-problems that often take away from a manager’s personal productivity, decrease turnover, and spend less time recruiting and training replacements for the employees that left you and your organization.
