Leading Others

Leading Others is a course for new leaders. This course provides participants with the knowledge and behavioral competencies to embrace their role as a new leader with confidence and effectiveness. Learners gain expert knowledge of the components of high performing teams, and how to nurture them. The course uses John C. Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership model to provide an understanding of how to grow into a superior leader as well as how to interact with team members based on their own level of development. This idea is supported by the Situational Leadership Model that benefits a leader’s effectiveness by knowing how to communicate with each team member based on the team member’s willingness and competency to perform in their jobs and assignments. Additionally, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Assessment and subsequent training ensures participants are better equipped to communicate and resolve conflict with others regardless of personality type. The Leading Others course is a linchpin in transitioning from a new leader to a more mature and well-informed leader. It addresses critical behavioral and communication situations that when handled effectively, result in stronger trust and better performance across the team.
