Description

Practical Leadership Skills Certification
The success of your company depends entirely on your ability to lead a team. Without effective leadership, companies soon fail. It is important to be there, to guide your staff, to provide advice and to make crucial business decisions with very little notice.

Those who are unable to learn the skills that they need in order to effectively lead, may find themselves quickly out of a job. Even in a best-case scenario, being an ineffective leader can cause a lot of stress and unhappiness. Thankfully, leadership is not an innate quality. The skills that you need for effective leadership are easy to acquire, as long as you are eager to put in the time and effort.

This course goes into detail about the practical skills that you need for effective leadership.

It begins by diving into the general styles of leadership, giving you the tools that you need in order to identify your own style and make adjustments accordingly.

Next, we discuss the best strategies that you can use in order to motivate your staff.

Delegation and coaching techniques are covered next, ensuring that all the skills that you need for effective leadership are covered as thoroughly as possible.

The differences between directive, transformational and participative leadership
The drawbacks and benefits of each style discussed

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
