Course Title: Effective Leadership Skills

Duration:  one/two days
Designed for:

Anyone who is managing or leading a team of approximately 3 to 12 people.
Course Objectives:

By the end of the course participants will be able to appreciate the practical implications of their role as leader and translate leadership functions into the practicalities of their job, whilst appreciating the range of interpersonal skills they need as a leader.
About the Course:

Managers and team leaders increasingly find themselves in challenging situations where they need to achieve ever tougher targets, sometimes with a permanent team but increasingly with a temporary team or a team of colleagues over which they have no line authority. They need practical leadership skills if they are to capitalise on the synergy of those teams, bring out the best in them and so achieve their full performance potential.

In this highly participative course conepts and tools will be imtroduced and implemented in practical exercises. Participants will be encouraged to discuss their current work environment, review their current leadership skills, set goals to practise in the exercises and give feedback to each other. They will also be encouraged to reflect on their learning and specify how they will transfer it to their jobs.
