EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP SKILLS
   
INTRODUCTION :
 
“You can't change people.
You must be the change you wish to see in people.”
- Gandhi
 

Leaders of organizations face many tough challenges.  Organizational leaders must understand the environment in which they operate, establish goals and objectives and motivate their employees to achieve excellence to “battle” in the global marketplace.  To be effective, the leader is, first of all, expected to get the right things done.  Effectiveness has little correlation with intelligence. While intelligence, imagination, and knowledge are essential resources, only effectiveness converts them into results.  By themselves, intelligence, imagination, and knowledge only set limits to what can be attained.  Effective leaders first lead themselves before they can lead others.  They work hard to achieve personal and interpersonal effectiveness..  Habits (which encompass skills, attitude and knowledge) are powerful factors in the life of an effective leader.  They express one’s character and produce one’s effectiveness -- or ineffectiveness.  Effective leaders must lead their people in a way that enables them not only to do the necessary tasks, but also to contribute and participate in day-to-day decisions that affect them.

 This training program explores the character & skills of effective leaders, compiled from insightful teachings from management Gurus such as Peter F. Ducker, Stephen R. Covey, and many others.  This program includes discussions, individual exercises, video, role play and group work to give participants the best opportunities for learning – and reinforce those learning into their lives. This training program is a foundational course and a must for all newly appointed leaders as well as for experienced leaders who need to influence others to “win” and be successful
