A Blueprint for Effective Workplace Leadership

Description

Most people can name a good leader they have worked for. Fewer can say what that person actually did. This course breaks the job down. You’ll learn a working definition of leadership and the five functions business leaders carry out, with a comparison of what great and bad leaders do differently. From there the lessons turn to employee engagement, with six strategies for raising it, and to vision, with a checklist for writing a statement that gives your team direction.

Lessons combine videos with flashcards and sorting activities, plus checklists you can apply to your own company.

What you’ll be able to do

• Describe the five functions of a business leader, from inspiring a shared vision to embodying company values
• Tell an engaged employee from one who is merely satisfied with the job

• Draft a vision statement that is future-oriented, directional, specific to your business and brief
• Keep communication open with your team, including when they disagree with you
