Description

This course will introduce you to the basic principles of leadership and to the basic leadership traits and characteristics of effective leaders. Basic leadership styles will also be discussed.

It is nonsense to assume that leadership is genetic. There’s no hard evidence to support that assumption, and worse, it dooms every one of us to accept limitations to our destiny. The truth is that leadership is an observable set of skills and abilities useful whether one is in the executive suite or on the front line, on Wall Street or Main Street. And any skill can be enhanced if we have the proper tools to measure our progress; such as practice and feedback, role models and coaching, and the support and recognition.

Leadership Training should liberate the new supervisor within each and every person. Rather than view leadership as an innate set of character traits, it is far healthier and more productive to assume that it’s possible for everyone to learn to lead.

In this course, we will describe the basic principles of leadership, to include traits, characteristics, and styles of effective leaders and show you ways to employ techniques to improve it.

To meet this overall course objective, we will:

• DESCRIBE the basic principles of leadership
• EXPLAIN good basic leadership traits
• IDENTIFY basic leadership styles
