Leadership Skills

Do you want to strengthen your leadership skills?

  • Do you wonder if you have what it takes to be a leader?
  • Is leadership one of your personal or professional aspirations, but you wonder where to start?
  • Do you feel you could demonstrate stronger professionalism and personal leadership in what you are doing right now?
  • Are you in a leadership role because of your professional expertise but struggling with the “people side” of your role?
  • Do you find particular kinds of colleagues or team members hard to manage?
  • Would you like to work on the “team atmosphere” to create a climate that encourages your team to do their best work?

Enhancing your leadership skills can help you to:

  • Clarify whether you want to pursue a leadership role
  • Identify a path of progression towards the leadership role you aspire to
  • Understand your leadership style along with potential strengths and weaknesses
  • Develop strategies to manage different kinds of employees, helping them and you to flourish in the process
  • Create a team atmosphere that is healthy for you and your team, improving well-being and productivity
  • Develop a more effective leadership style
  • Improve interpersonal or communication skills
  • Find work/life balance
  • Expedite priority setting and time management
  • Enhance presentation and networking skills
  • Deal with conflict and learn conflict-management skills
  • Strengthen self-confidence, assertiveness, and well-being

Why are leadership skills important?

Being in a leadership role comes with responsibility.  When we feel pushed into a leadership role without the skills and support required, it can erode our existing skill-set and our confidence as a leader.  By developing personal insights and strategies for effective leadership, we can learn to feel more competent and at ease in the leadership position, helping ourselves and colleagues to thrive.
