| Overview: | Leadership is not about managing people. It is about building a fire within them, not underneath them. Managers are given authority over others from above; Leaders are given authority from those they lead.
Not everyone is a born leader, however it is a skill that can be learnt. Leadership is a combination of motivating, coordinating, facilitating, and recognising the strengths of team members.
To be an effective leader requires the respect and support of those that are being led. Leaders need to have a vision of desired results, develop a plan to achieve the results and then lead by example. Leadership involves directing a team to function at peak performance with maximum cooperation and enthusiasm. It is also about building a fire within their staff not under them.
This course will give participants an awareness of what it takes to be an effective leader and the challenges faced by leaders in an IT environment.
