Humor, Humility, and Resilience: Modern Leadership

About the Course:

What is leadership? The dictionary describes a leader as a “person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country” and leadership as “the state or position of being a leader”.

Does this really capture our view of leadership? What we have learned is that leadership is earned, not by a title but rather, that true leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others towards the achievement of a goal. Leadership might then be reframed to say it is a learned set of skills that can be used in influencing others. The question is where do we go to find the right skillsets?

In this webinar, we will look at the skills top leaders embody. We will discuss ways to apply these skills in leadership - whether in a small group or large organization. Presented in vignettes, this webinar will give you the skills and tools to become a better leader.

Course Objective:

• Learn top skills for leaders
• Explore how to apply and use those skills to achieve a goal
• Compare and contrast new leadership models with older models, and
• Discuss why the new leadership models are better and more effective

Who is the Target Audience?

• Any mid-level or higher manager/leader looking for ways to increase their effectiveness; anyone who is interested in honing skills to be a more effective leader.

Basic Knowledge:

• None needed, although having experienced what doesn’t work in motivating and leading people provides a good benchmark.
