There are no dead-end jobs. There are only dead-end people." — Thomas Sowell, writer

Every field of learning has basics one must know—and it is the basics that we tend to forget and not do well. Just as a house cannot stand without a strong foundation, so it is with leadership. To lead, one must study leadership. This course increases leadership effectiveness by presenting:

— Good and bad leadership traits,

— The skills one needs,

— A focus on ethics and development of wisdom

— The types of influence one can exert,

— The many varieties of styles or roles one can play, and

— Assessments to determine strengths and weaknesses. It covers:

— Why people follow good leaders,

— Why they obey the bad ones,

— How culture and the situation impact leadership,

— Specific tactics useful in creating goal and path expectations,

— What elements of culture impact leadership effectiveness.

— The essence of success as a team leader, and

— Characteristics of great transformational leaders.

Finally, the course focuses on the differences between the two star roles one must play on the stage of business and government—that of leader and manager.
