Leadership Skills - Taking the Business Forward - Module One

In this first module, we will define the major elements of leadership and look at what leaders need to do in order to be successful. We will also make a clear distinction between Management and Leadership and offer models where you can assess how much of each you presently do, with suggestions of changes you can make to become a more effective leader. This module demonstrates that leadership activities are predominantly about developing people and the business, with a view to the future, rather than just concentrating on today's issues and short term output.

Approximate duration: 30 minutes.

The aim of this course is to teach you about the following subjects:

• Understanding what leadership means
• Knowing when you are managing and when you are leading
• How leadership applies in the workplace
