The skills to lead have an inherent and important value added to the overall development professionally as well as your personal success.

Before we give you our recommendations for AMA’s top leadership training, let us elaborate a little bit more about effective leadership in the coming paragraphs.

In Leadership, you might need these 3 qualities.

 

Decision-Making 

Stepping into the shoes of a leader is a huge responsibility. It requires making difficult decisions without losing the confidence of your team — often with additional hurdles, such as time and budget constraints. Our seminars can help you learn how to keep calm and structure your thought process, as well as how to explain your reasoning to win team buy-in. 

 

Integrity 

A trait and a skill that is honed over a long term, leadership tends to mean establishing and maintaining integrity is a prominent facet to having the respect of those you wish to lead. Having the knowledge to navigate effectively communicating with high levels of integrity when in a new setting and how to identify situations in which integrity will be publicly tested will help you ensure you are seen as a leader. 

 

Innovation 

Helming the role of a leader does not mean being an inventor but instead opening up yourself to creating innovative solutions for problems and consistently seeking ways to better inspire, catalyze and achieve. Seek the knowledge required to foster innovation in your team and

 

 

Top 5 Leadership Skills 

 

Many hold the perception that possessing leadership qualities is something you are born with. Many of the world’s greatest leaders have learnt and honed the craft of leading over time. The first step in doing so is in the ability to identify the qualities that people want and need in a leader. In a recent Harvard Business Review article did just that, asking participants around the world to pinpoint the skills they associate with leadership. The findings that emerged identified several primary themes: self-motivation, ability to foster connection, and ethics. 

 

 

Communication Skills 

The make of an effective communicator is comprised of many different skill sets, from being able to communicate your ask clearly to presenting your views with authority and persuasiveness. In addition, leaders need to be adept not only at achieving these outcomes with their typical work team but at being able to replicate them across new settings and audiences. That means taking the time to learn the primary tenets of communication. 

 

Team Building 

Leaders need to foster camaraderie and collaboration between the team members they oversee. That means identifying their strengths and passions, establishing clear but malleable frameworks for collaboration, keeping fairness top of mind to avoid inter-team resentments, and building out incentive models that reward working toward a common goal. 

 

Collaboration 

The best leaders are ones capable of demonstrating the work — and workplace culture — they wish to inspire. That means rolling up their sleeves and becoming one with the team. Our training sessions will help you become an expert collaborator by instilling essential subskills, such as trust, close listening, open-mindedness and organization. 

 

Innovation 

Being a leader doesn’t mean being an inventor—but it does mean opening yourself up to inventive problem-solving and continually seeking ways to better inspire, catalyze, and achieve. Learn how to foster innovation in others and in yourself, as well as how to implement research, risk analysis, and testing measures to take that innovation to the next level. 

 

Delegation 

Running a team that executes on time and on task means ensuring you are not acting as a bottleneck in the collaborative process. However, delegating effectively often poses a challenge for perfectionists who wish to oversee every detail. Learn to delegate better by learning how to identify team members’ key strengths, how to clearly communicate project needs, and how to provide feedback that gets you to the desired end product.
