About the Course |
|
How does an effective leader achieve impact and influence in today's competitive and demanding business world?
In a fast paced and changing environment, the focus of attention is increasingly on the need for effective leadership, not just good management. Women aspiring to leadership positions face particular challenges. They often face far more rigorous tests to determine their suitability for promotion and must be active in seeking selection for leadership positions. To create your own opportunities, it is vital that you identify and acquire the characteristics and competencies of an effective leader and integrate these into your personal leadership style.
Through interactive exercises and group discussions, you will gain powerful communication, negotiation and influencing skills which will help you succeed in a male oriented working environment. You will learn how to achieve an assertive, but not aggressive, response style, and create and sustain an image of authority. You will also acquire valuable techniques to help you lead, empower and motivate your staff to excel.
This practical two-day course provides a forum for women aspiring to leadership roles in both the public and private sector to share their specific concerns and benefit from the experience and support of others in similar situations. You will learn how to effectively deal with the pervasive and increasing rate of change, and identify how you can make the most of the opportunities arising out of this. Using an accurate assessment of your skill base, you will discover how you can capitalise on your strengths to achieve your personal and organisational goals in today's challenging workplace
