Increasing your leadership potential

Leadership is both a science and an art. Although it is a discipline, it does not require formal education. It does, however, require focus on the activities you support and the relationships you establish. This course will help you increase your perception as a leader, whether you are actually on the organization chart or not. You’ll learn how to help set yourself up to serve as a leader, interpret the work styles of your peers and managers, and tailor your approach to best suit those styles. In addition, you will learn to adopt effective leadership communication and decision-making practices, and grasp the best approaches for planning. Lastly, you will be able to consider times when following “the rules” might not be the best leadership strategy.
