- Do you know how to get your team to trust you and see you as a credible leader?

This course is for people who want to become an effective leader. Leadership is different from managing. You lead people, but you manage things. Leadership is about inspiration, motivation and vision. Managing is about optimization of resources, scheduling, project management and so on. You may lead and manage at the same time, however, this course focuses on your leadership role.
As a leader in the 21st century, you need to be prepared for dynamic, complex and competitive environments with a flexible approach. With a mission and a strategy you can look forward with confidence and certainty that will be picked up by your team.
This two-day course will show you how to lead and inspire your team, how to assess the needs of your stakeholders, how to spot the trends, how to influence key people, how to get the most from your team by increasing their creativity and how to manage risks and exploit opportunities.
Create an action plan to improve your leadership skills. Detailed course materials are designed to maximize your gain when using these newly acquired skills once back at work.
