Module 1 :Managers vs Leaders
The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have vision. They’re constantly driving towards the bigger picture, while managers maintain the status quo, often focusing on organizing others’ ideas to reach set goals. You might have great management skills like coordinating teams, delegating tasks, and monitoring progress, but what if the safety net of working from someone else’s vision is removed? To be a successful leader, you need to think like one.

Module 2 :Conflict Management
Conflict can be hard to deal with, and sometimes the workplace can feel more like a battleground. As a leader, it’s your job to step in, but it can be tricky knowing when and how to do that. Some leaders ignore conflict altogether, which can lead to a toxic and damaging work environment for everyone, impacting productivity and, ultimately, the success of your business.

Module 3 :Effective Meetings
In many workplaces, any mention of the word “meeting” is met with a collective sigh. That’s usually because people’s experience is of ineffective meetings which they see as boring, pointless, and a waste of valuable time. Like any task, holding an effective meeting needs careful planning and set goals to identify who should be involved and what should be discussed.

Module 4 :Motivating Others
Coaching is a brilliant tool that managers use to maximize staff potential. By using your relationship with employees, you can encourage them to learn. But, if you don’t have a reasonable relationship with your employees to begin with, you won’t be able to improve their skills. A large part of coaching involves knowing enough about the person’s life to develop a joint plan to reach their goal.

Module 6:Leading by Example
“If they can do it, I can do it.” When you lead by example, you make it easy for others to follow you.

Whatever you do and however you do it – when leading, people are influenced by your actions and behavior.
