Course Summary
Leadership is a position that is desired by many, yet only achievable by a select few. There is a vast range of skills required to be an effective leader, and while they 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 the roles they perform. Reflecting on the past enables current leaders to have 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.
Not only do effective leaders need to be adept at strategizing, but they also need to focus their attention on the business itself. An efficient business requires its employees to be dedicated to the task at hand. It is necessary for Senior Executives to have a positive influence within the organisation culture and be able to appropriately balance the needs of the business with the welfare of the staff.
A Senior Executive must strive for change in their organisation, and constantly be working towards continuous improvement for themselves and to empower their direct reports.
