Leadership Skills For Senior Executives
Course Info
Course Summary
Leadership is a position desired by many yet only achievable by a select few. A wide range of skills are required to be an effective leader, and while some may come naturally to some, for most people, they need to be taught and developed over time.
Leadership starts with assessing previous performances and ensuring a full and complete understanding of core business concepts, particularly within their roles. Reflecting on the past gives current leaders a clear view of the steps taken to achieve their current position. It enables them to develop future strategies, have a deeper understanding of the market, and be better equipped to predict disruptions or changes.
Effective leaders need to be adept at strategizing and focus their attention on the business itself. An efficient business requires its employees to be dedicated to the task at hand. Senior Executives must have a positive influence on the organisation's culture and be able to appropriately balance the business's needs with the staff's welfare.
A Senior Executive must strive for change in their organisation, constantly work towards continuous improvement for themselves, and empower their direct reports.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate personal leadership capabilities compared to globally recognised leaders.
- Apply executive skills across a range of responsibilities.
- Create an agenda for personal and organisational success.

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review local and global leaders to evaluate the strategies that allow them to succeed and remain superior in their respective markets.
They will be presented with the necessary tools to investigate a chosen market, assess business forecasts and establish an agenda with structured strategies to shape dominance within said markets. Participants will present their agenda and strategies within groups to enable them an opportunity to offer and receive feedback from others. These presentations will demonstrate how well the knowledge has been understood and provide the chance to refine and revisit areas the participants may not have fully understood.
