Leading Self

The course will help you appreciate the importance of enhancing your self-awareness to create a strong foundation for your leadership. This course will empower you with ways to understand and acknowledge your strengths and vulnerabilities. By gaining a greater understanding of your emotions and their impact on performance, you will identify what tends to be your habitual attitudes, thoughts, and behaviours. You will learn ways to build yourself up to achieve your personal and professional goals. You will also learn ways to adjust to new role demands and to work on your personal development consciously and consistently.

Leading Teams

The course on Leading Teams will help you learn best practices to create team designs and structures, align individual and team goals, establish norms and roles, and foster free expression of concerns and challenges without creating dysfunctional conflicts to harness the productive potential of teams. You will gain insights into improving the quality of teamwork in virtual teams. As an effective team leader, you must be skilled in handling social interactions and interpersonal behaviour. So, the course will also help you gain insights into effective delegation, giving and receiving feedback, coaching, and difficult conversations.

You will learn to manage interpersonal relationships and choose the right tactics and approaches to elicit cooperation and committed actions.

Finally, as a leader, you will recognise how to foster collaboration across multiple levels, specialisations, and geographies.

These include how to create a shared felt need for change, align key stakeholders around the change objectives, diagnose and address resistance appropriately, create a change team that works collaboratively to pursue the change plan, energise people for effective execution and build resilience to bounce back from impediments.
