COURSE AIMS

To provide those who are new to a leadership or management position or aspiring to be in this position with an introduction to the skills required to manage and lead people effectively.

 COURSE CONTENT

  • What is leadership?
  • The difference between Leadership and Management
  • The key skills and characteristics of effective leaders and managers
  • When to lead and when to manage
  • Identifying a range of leadership approaches and when each should be used
  • What can a leader do to get the best from the team
  • How to develop yourself as a leader and develop the skills of others

COURSE BENEFITS

Many people are put into leadership positions because of their technical ability to do the job and not on their ability to lead.  This course will provide an introduction to the skills required to lead and manage effectively, providing a sound footing to build on.

 By developing leadership skills, delegates will be able to motivate the team to perform to a high standard, getting the balance right between quality and productivity.  Having the right skills to lead means the leader can engage the team in the vision, build trust and competence and therefore spend time further developing the skills of the team, and not constantly fire fighting to solve problems within the team.

By the end of the course, delegates will:

  • Know the difference between leadership and management and when to apply each function
  • Understand the wide range of skills they will need to possess to be an effective leader and manager
  • Know a range of leadership approaches and the situations each should be used in
  • Be able to get the team to a high performing standard in a short a period as possible
  • Have built a clear development plan to develop the skills learnt in the workshop further.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Those who are new to a leadership/management/supervisory position or those who are aspiring to be a manager or leader in future.
