Course Description
The workplace on all levels is more complicated today, and the level of complexity is steadily increasing every year.
Consider: the global economy, increased competition, shortage of skilled labor, continual technological and organizational change, the weak economy, near-constant legislative changes, and workplace diversity - just to name a few.
Therefore, today, leaders must be contemporary leaders who know how to navigate and drive organizational change - and do it through building relationships.
Without a good balance between technical skills and people skills (balance of IQ and EQ) leaders will only achieve marginal success.
Let’s face it—technical skills only take a leader so far. And, today leaders must have a solid understanding of how to manage within the boundaries of the law to avoid creating a hostile work environment or inviting claims of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation.
Learning Objectives In this informative audio conference, you will learn what it takes to be a contemporary leader, and what you need to do to improve your leadership skills - and the skills of your leadership team.
By attending, you will learn:
- To understand how leadership has changed and to identify the competencies necessary for successfully leading the diverse, contemporary workforce
- To understand the difference between managing and leading
- To understand the career shift from individual contributor to people leader and the immediate change in competencies required for success
- To learn the common challenges managers face and how to sharpen leadership skills in handling these challenges
- To identify the essential curriculum needed for effective leadership development, recruitment, performance management, retention, and risk management
