Introduction:
One of the major responsibilities of managers is to manage, motivate and lead people. To be effective at leading people, they must be able to manage self and practice self leadership. Self leadership involves on the one hand, having an in-depth understanding of self and self in relation to others and on the other, developing a better understanding of your people.
However, with the fast pace of business today, including rapidly changing markets, highly competitive work environments, and organizational expectations, managers hardly find the time to spend on self – understanding strengths and identifying areas of improvement, examining their inter-personal relationships and the impact of these on their own performance and that of others which can make a difference between being a manager and being an effective leader.
Leading others calls for developing sensitivity and investing time in improving interpersonal relations, motivating, and developing people through delegation and empowerment. Such an approach would not only help in getting the best from your people but also pave the way for your future growth.
Think of the leaders you most admire. They seem to easily juggle competing demands, confidently motivate their teams to achieve optimum results, effectively navigate across the organization, and never lose their composure. These executives make the job look simply—but it’s not.
Designed to help managers become more effective leaders, this powerful program delves into the fundamentals of managing yourself, leading teams, and motivating others to accomplish your company’s goals.
Through relevant readings, case discussions, and introspective exercises, you will gain a broader and deeper understanding of organizational culture and dynamics, management best practices, the role of the manager, and the nature of influence. As you explore your own personality, strengths, and weaknesses, you will begin to evolve a leadership style that is uniquely yours. You will return to work with newfound confidence and an action plan for continuing your growth as a leader.
