This course - Leading Others: Effective Strategies for Purpose-Driven Leadership - is for leaders who are looking for innovative, novel approaches to tackle ever-growing leadership issues involving time management, people development, and strategic and design thinking. It's also for leaders who want to excel in their current roles, and also want to envision a path forward for their own career.
Poor time management, insufficient people skills, and a lack of grit and resilience have left such leaders facing employee disengagement, turnover, sub-par communication, ambiguous decision-making, sullied customer experiences, and missed business goals and financial objectives. They need a new approach, which this course offers for today's leaders:
Leadership is not about you – it’s to bring forth the best in others to accomplish what can’t be done alone (or what only can be done together).
In this course, you will develop skills to:
Balance confidence and humility with a disciplined approach to be a more curious and compassionate leader. Sustain a more positive and energized work environment.
Create a sense of duty amongst the team to gain true commitment over mere compliance where people balance their authenticity while holding their views lightly.
Cultivate grit so the team can overcome adversity and collaborate more effectively.
Reduce complexity, embrace simplicity and make it easy to follow you. Focus by setting the right direction, pace, and tone.
Who this course is for:
- Leaders looking for a new approach.
- Mid-level managers, team leaders, and aspiring leaders who want to excel in their current roles, but also want to envision a path forward for their own career. These leaders desire an adventurous and fulfilling work experience in which a collaborative team environment—and not just top-down demand—is the default leadership maxim.
- Managing Directors of mid-size-to-large for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations looking for innovative, novel approaches to tackle ever-growing leadership issues involving time management, people development, and strategic and design thinking. Poor time management, insufficient people skills, and a lack of grit and resilience have left such leaders facing employee disengagement, turnover, sub-par communication, ambiguous decision-making, sullied customer experiences, and missed business goals and financial objectives.
