Providing strong, capable leadership, and gaining the wisdom and confidence to handle “difficult” situations well, are some of the most challenging aspects of becoming a leader. Knowing how to set up an environment and “team attitude” where communication flows easily and effectively; leading by example when it comes to giving and receiving both praise and criticism; coaching, motivation and delegation – these are the skills that define effective leadership. This course provides youthful participants with the skills to develop a structured approach to leadership; to build trust and rapport within the team; to handle typical awkward team situations assertively and with respect; to anticipate and diffuse potential conflict; and ways to praise and motivate colleagues.
