Course Overview:

This 1-Day Leading Essentials training program is designed for anyone currently in a leadership role, those preparing to step into one, or individuals looking to strengthen their leadership capabilities. Whether you're managing a small team or leading multiple departments, this course equips you with practical tools and insights to guide, motivate, and develop your people.

An effective team is essential for any organization’s success — yet, it’s an area often left to chance. Without clear leadership, teams can become disengaged, disconnected from the organization’s goals, and ultimately underperform. This course explores what it takes to lead a high-performing team by understanding your role as a leader, both from your personal leadership perspective and in the context of your team’s dynamics.

Key Takeaways:

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Define the qualities of an effective leader.
  2. Benchmark themselves against those qualities and create a development plan.
  3. Differentiate between leadership and management roles.
  4. Communicate the organization’s vision effectively to their team.
  5. Set clear, achievable team goals aligned with business objectives.
  6. Motivate individuals by understanding their personal drivers.
  7. Address and manage difficult behaviors constructively.
  8. Challenge and support staff in meaningful, productive ways.
  9. Coach team members using a straightforward, proven process.
