Practical Leadership Skills Certificate

Practical Leadership Skills Certificate Course

The success of your company depends entirely on your ability to lead a team. Without effective leadership, companies soon fail. It is important to be there, to guide your staff, to provide advice and to make crucial business decisions with very little notice. Those who are unable to learn the skills that they need in order to effectively lead, may find themselves quickly out of a job. Even in a best-case scenario, being an ineffective leader can cause a lot of stress and unhappiness.

Thankfully, leadership is not an innate quality. The skills that you need for effective leadership are easy to acquire, as long as you are eager to put in the time and effort. This course goes into detail about the practical skills that you need for effective leadership. It begins by diving into the general styles of leadership, giving you the tools that you need in order to identify your own style and make adjustments accordingly. Next, we discuss the best strategies that you can use in order to motivate your staff. Delegation and coaching techniques are covered next, ensuring that all the skills that you need for effective leadership are covered as thoroughly as possible.

You will Learn:

  • The differences between directive, transformational and participative leadership
  • The drawbacks and benefits of each style discussed
  • Why motivation is such an important tool to use with your team
  • The importance of delegation
  • Why coaching is also an important skill to learn

Benefits of Taking this Course

  • Learning the three primary strategies that you can use in order to motivate your staff
  • Understanding why it is important to share corporate information with your staff
  • Learning how to share your enthusiasm with your team and the benefits of doing so
  • Understanding the value of delegation and when you need to put it into practice
  • Learning how and when to most effectively coach your team members

A very helpful and well-structured introduction to Complete Animal Care. I haven't completed all the course content and modules, but I am finding it is clear and easy to understand and the topics are presented with enough detail to enable a good understanding, but not overwhelm you!
Very straightforward process to access content, good value for money and there is an extensive range of free downloadable resources relating to the course.
While learning at my own pace, the course is giving me all the information I need to start my dream career. I have already and will continue to highly recommend New Skills Academy!

Jenna Griffin

Great course, lots of really good information which I could take my time over reading and making notes. I could then understand and learn through the content. It has definitely already helped my teaching and will continue to be a source of reference.

Harriet More

The course was very useful. It covers everything you need starting from the introduction to the comments. Everything was explained in a way to understand easily each one module of it. I really liked the pivot table module.

It is so helpful, don’t know how I lived until now without it at work. It is just amazing. I am so glad that I started the course and I am proud of myself that I did it in a such a short time.

Thank you for this. Can’t wait to start the next one – intermediate level! Hopefully I will pass it. And who knows – maybe after that I will pass the advanced one.

After being in recruitment for three years, this was an amazing course to remind me all the things that I may have let slip it also encouraged me to sharpen up my recruitment practices and I feel rejuvenated in my approach to recruitment with both clients and candidates.
Through the help of this course I feel that I can actively, proactively and effectively target both clients and candidates to achieve my target orientated goals.

I must honestly say that this course website is a great help for learning new information on previous courses as I did a Premiere Animal Care 1 year course.

Ever since my mum introduced me to this website and got me on the "Dog Grooming Diploma" course through New Skills , we also came across many other great courses and offers and not only did I learn new skills, techniques and information while working on my modules my previous knowledge on dog care expanded tremendously!

I would definitely recommend this website to friends and family to help them gain skills, experience and knowledge on whatever job they are hoping to get with the qualifications from their chosen course.
