Course Description
The Vital Learning Essential Skills of Leadership™ program is the first step in developing successful supervisors, team leaders and managers. By focusing on three critical management skills, the program establishes a methodology for productive interactions between team members and team leaders. Essential Skills of Leadership helps experienced managers, new managers and aspiring managers refocus on the basics: the skills necessary to manage individuals while also leading the team.
To encourage, inspire and motivate team members, managers must have good relationships with employees. Part of this comes knowing how to deal with employees in a positive way that maintains and enhances their self-esteem. Managers must also create a team atmosphere by empowering team members, allowing them to participate in setting goals, solving problems and making decisions when possible. Managers who achieve this retain their team members, and their teams are more productive.
Essential Skills of Leadership teaches managers contemporary techniques for effective leadership, thereby improving their performance and increasing the productivity of both the team and the organization. Throughout this course, managers review video presentations and case studies, participate in group discussions, practice new skills, and receive immediate feedback. They leave with valuable implementation tools, a troubleshooting guide and additional resources to help them apply the skills they have learned on the job.
