Leadership Training
2-day programme - Ideal for New or Existing Managers
Leadership is the ability to get work done with and through others while gaining their trust and cooperation.
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs an organisation in a way and makes it more cohesive and coherent.
A critical factor which differentiates between a successful manager/leader and a poor performer is the effective application of interpersonal skills.
A job title may give a person the authority to accomplish certain tasks and objectives in the organisation, this power however does not make them the leader - it simply makes them the boss. Leadership differs in that it makes followers want to achieve high goals, and empowers them to achieve them.
Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership attributes such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge and skills.
Managers are generally promoted to their position because they were an effective individual performer, however leading others requires a whole new skill set and update of the managers values and identity.
Failure to transition star performers to effective leaders can seriously impair an organisations effectiveness. As Jack Welch said. “People join good companies but leave bad managers.”
