Transformational Leadership

Transformational Leadership & Strategic Management.
Toronto, ON Canada.

OVERVIEW

While many people believe that some individuals are born leaders, the good news is that leadership skills can be taught and learnt.

The business world has changed! Management was about pushing people to succeed. Leadership is about pulling people along to succeed. Command and control have been replaced. Employees are not told what to do anymore. Now, you influence their choices and assist in reaching goals. You do not direct; you win the team over to your point of view. You do not dictate; you inspire! You manage peak performance for both yourself and others.

This Leadership Skills for Successful Managers course is aimed at seasoned managers. Using real world scenarios it covers the skills required to make the adjustment from working alongside your colleagues to managing and motivating them to work for you.

Decide today to stop pushing and start being an attract magnet!
