Course Overview Many leaders are held back by limitation of a certain skill. They may for example have great vision, but not enough patience, persuasion and organisation to bring their ideas to reality. Others shine, as leaders in a certain situation while in a different environment they might feel frustrated because their team or management seems unsympathetic.

That’s why as a leader, it’s important to ensure that your skills match, or indeed exceed your challenges.

The Self Leadership course is designed to ensure that you not only enhance your areas of natural talent, but also rapidly improve the areas that may need development.

We start with exploring your current leadership style, where it works and where it doesn’t. We then study and practice other leadership styles that may be completely new to you. The focus here is on developing a wide repertoire of skills and strategies that will enable you to respond with flexibility and lead in any situation.

We focus on communicating and presenting yourself as a leader, because the confidence in your vision and decisions will always emerge from people’s confidence in you. You will frequently practice persuading others and presenting your decisions, responding to feedback and communicating at different levels.

Finally, a leader’s plans and ideas need to be executed efficiently, and the more responsibility you have as a leader, the greater the demand for your time and attention. That’s why for a full day, we’ll be working on your personal productivity. You will gain insights into capturing ideas, delegating tasks, organising and planning and even relaxing and dealing with stress.

The Self Leadership course ensures that your personal skills allow you to fulfill your role and ambitions as a leader.

Who Should Attend?

The target audience for this course are those who currently lead others or are expected to do so in the foreseeable future.

Experienced managers will find this a great opportunity to expand on their current style of leadership and explore solutions to challenging situations, while upcoming managers or those with recent advancement to a management position will go through comprehensive training on skills and knowledge required to be an effective all round leader.
