Course Overview

Leadership is an essential quality in all management and supervisory positions.  It is not so much what leaders do, as something that arises out of our interpersonal relationships.  It does not depend on one person, but on how people act together to make sense of the situations that face them.

This course will help you to identify the qualities of leadership and apply these with your team through a combination of self reflection, group activities and shared learning.

  • Techniques to balance technical and people responsibilities including adapting your leadership style to suit the situation.
  • Transition through the 5 levels of leadership by drawing on your existing management and interpersonal skills to gain respect and motivate others.
  • Explore the relationship between being proactive and influence through assertive communication.
  • Create the right team environment through an increased understanding of individual expectations and team dynamics.

  • Mediate conflict situations between parties to promote team harmony and maintain productivity.
