Developing an Authoritarian Voice in Leadership

Course Summary

There are countless factors that influence the success of an organisation, including both external and internal aspects. One of the most crucial factors is the presence of strong and powerful leadership.

An effective leader stems from their ability to communicate within their role to both superiors and subordinates. They are in charge of making decisions, creating strategies and managing employees which all require a voice of confidence and assertiveness to ensure these functions can reach their full potential.

An authoritarian voice is a guaranteed way of achieving the goal of confident communication. This style of leadership suits fast-paced environments extremely well, as decision-making tends to rely solely on a single person. However, for this to be effective it is ever more crucial for them to be competent in communicating in a concise way. To influence others and gain trust from those within the organisation, one would need to understand how to adjust their behaviour, adapt to new situations and how to face adversity, all while communicating efficiently in ways to reduce stress and encourage better performance from employees.

With an authoritarian voice, the leader is guaranteed to thrive, hold incredible impact and influence within their organisation.
