Overview
This online course will teach
you how to develop practical leadership skills for use with any workforce
regardless of educational, professional, or social background. You will learn
effective and proven techniques in motivating people, setting effective
performance objectives, assessing that performance easily, and coaching for
performance. You will receive tools that you can use immediately in the
workplace.
This course provides
practical and easy-to-follow guidance for new leaders who want to develop
effective leadership skills without the pain of a trial-and-error approach. It
is also effective for seasoned leaders to use as a guideline in mentoring newer
ones. Systematic guidance helps users develop “soft skills” measurements for
activities such as teamwork, quality service, oral and written communications.
There is also a structured methodology to determine why an employee is not
performing to expectations as well as a powerful “how to” guideline on effective
coaching for use anywhere in 30 seconds or less.
The objective of this
course is to help participants develop effective leadership skills that will
increase their value to their employer and their career satisfaction.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty-five (45)
questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
