Advancing your personal leadership
Interim Managers often have to work quickly to achieve significant change in an organisation, and their effectiveness depends upon getting commitment from a range of stakeholders. This demands above average leadership skills.
The course will enable you to review your current leadership style, identify ways to improve your leadership skills and effectiveness, and create or contribute to, an environment that empowers others and encourages innovative thought. It also encourages you to review your decision making, consider how effectively you create and communicate a vision, and build and improve networks both inside and outside the client organisation.
Course content
The course provides the tools and techniques to help you look at different aspects of leadership and to understand the personal impact that you have, or could have, on colleagues, subordinates and other contacts. The underpinning activity of the course is a Personal Development Plan – in which you will select and reflect on two areas of leadership where changes could be made in order to improve your personal impact.
The study material examines five main areas:
- What is leadership?
- Impact on others – motivation and empowerment
- Decision making
- Vision and goals
- Networking
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- understand different approaches to leadership and assess which of these suit different situations
