We start by focusing on the basic skills that all managers and leaders

great leaders bring to their positions. You will be able to use these
characteristics to make you a better manager with the confi dence to
face any challenge ahead.

In this lesson, you will develop an awareness for the basic management
skills: Planning, Organizing, Directing and Control. You will then apply
these competencies to set clear directions, provide feedback, recognize
and reward performance, and communicate eff ectively. You will then be
able to contrast diff erent management styles that will help you to
develop your own personal style of leadership.

3. How leaders have vision, values and purpose

Perhaps the greatest diff erence between a leader and manager is their
ability to explain why they work the way they do. In lesson 3, you will
explore how leaders explain why they do what they do. You will learn
how strategic alignment holds the key to helping managers create a
winning culture.

4. Learn to motivate and inspire others

Leaders inspire their teams and motivate them not to fear change but
embrace it. During lesson 4, you will gain key insights into how leaders
encourage growth and development. Building trust is at the heart of
what leaders do. You will learn how to make time for each team
member and invest in their well-being. The result will be to make work
more enjoyable and more productive for your team.

5. Coaching for success

In Lesson 5, you will learn how to coach employees eff ectively. You will

also know how to manage diffi cult employees by setting clear
objectives so that there is no wriggle room. You will also gain insights
into how rewarding performance promotes productivity and helps build
resilience for those times that you need team members to go beyond
the call of duty.

6. How leaders manage change

Those who lead inspire change. Here you will learn how leaders build
and maintain momentum during times of change. Leaders explain why
change is required. They focus on the end goal. You will focus on key
communication skills that facilitate change and motivate those who are
resistant to change.

7. Future leadership roles

Some managers struggle with how work is constantly changing. We look
at the millennial generation and provide insights to help you lead in a
global, social, diverse, and multi-cultural environment. You will learn to
appreciate how the changing nature of work demands new leadership
and transformational roles. Roles that you, as aspiring managers and
leaders, can fi ll.

how the development of a productive learning culture helps to sustain
growth in times of change.
