This module looks at the four types of leader: directive, consultative, delegative and participative and the characteristics of each. We will explore the three areas of need: task needs, individual needs and team needs and look at ways in which you can motivate your team.
The primary responsibility of a leader is to ensure their team achieves its task. This module will look at how to define the task and set objectives. We will explore the different leadership styles and the characteristics of each. The main functions of leadership include controlling the process of achieving the task, evaluating the outcome and keeping the team motivated, we will look at each of these in turn. Finally we will look at the importance of setting a good example.
Although it’s important to select a leadership style that works best for you, it’s recommended that you adopt a flexible approach as research shows that managing your team in accordance with their individual needs creates a more motivated, engaged and effective group. This is especially important in today’s dynamic workplaces where workloads, team members, customers and resources are constantly changing. This module explores the different styles of leadership and how to modify your own.
This module explores the difference between coaching and mentoring. We will look at how to coach and mentor effectively and how to create a personal development plan.
This module will explore the four main work climates: comfortable, stressful, apathetic and high performance and the characteristics of each. We will look at the importance of feedback on improving performance and will look at not only giving feedback but also receiving it.
Once a decision has been made, the next step is to take action and implement it. This module explores several approaches to help you ensure the implementation process is successful including the G.R.O.W (Goal, Reality, Options, Wrap-Up) and V-SAFE (Valuable, Suitable, Acceptable, Feasible and Enduring) models.
Motivation is the key to encouraging your staff to go the extra mile. This module will look at the who is responsible for motivating the workforce, the theories behind motivation and six steps to help you motivate both yourself and others.
Virtual teams work independently on a shared organisational purpose, using a range of technologies to communicate and collaborate. This module looks at the benefits and challenges of working in a virtual team, the importance of a clear communication plan and the role of the manager in ensuring the teams success.
Performance problems are likely to occur at some stage in the workplace. This module will examine the Human Performance system, a method of identifying performance problems before looking for solutions. We will look at how the working environment can influence performance and the importance of giving feedback when dealing with performance problems.
Objectives are part of our everyday working lives. This module explores the four main types of objective and how to achieve these objectives by following the Make Objectives Happen Loop.
