You are your most important tool: Develop your leadership skills and develop yourself.

Description

“If we want to function in a healthy way, we must not be strangers to ourselves” These words from leadership coach Manfred Kets de Vries point to the intention of this leadership training.

If you want to lead others in an effective and healthy way, you have to know yourself and you have to know how to do it. The higher you climb on the organizational ladder, the less you can depend on technical skills and the greater your need for effective interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence. Even though you probably are not yet at the top of the ladder or even don`t want to be there this is true.

In this training you will learn about effective interpersonal skills and combine them with technical skills in certain areas of leadership.

Objective

On each day of the program we will focus on one aspect of essential leadership skills. Each topic contains practices and reflection questions to help participants feel more prepared in their professional life. Leadership is a skill that can be learned. Even if you don`t have any direct reports, you can always lead yourself. When you do this effectively, you create extraordinary results.
