Course Overview

Leadership is a combination of actions and abilities that contribute to the achievement of objectives through influencing employee participation. A leader takes an active interest in the professional growth of his or her team members. In addition, a leader employs considerate communication and other interpersonal skills to motivate people to attain their full potential without endangering their reputation or emotional condition. Leadership is the art of achieving objectives and fostering productive teams.

How do leadership skills influence an organization? Leaders can alter a company’s culture. Leadership is not just about being the boss and telling others what to do; rather, it is about selecting, developing, and continuously shaping the organization to achieve its long-term objectives. True leadership is about sharing a vision of the future with others while maintaining self-discipline, accountability, integrity, and respect for all stakeholders. By displaying an ideal attitude in the workplace, effective leadership may affect organizational values such as honesty, empathy, and tolerance, among others.
