Communication for Leaders

3 Day Course for Leaders and Managers in Needs-Based Communication

Successful leadership relies on communication. Leaders need to know more about how people work than ever before. The ability to understand the hopes, expectations and dilemmas of one’s colleagues and team members is now as important as the ‘harder’ skills relied on by previous generations of managers and leaders.

Communication is at the core of one’s ability to lead; it is through communication that one is able to develop the vision and creative strategic responses necessary to improve and maintain high performance within one’s organisation.

This course is for anyone who wishes to increase their effectiveness as a leader, focusing especially on essential communication skills. With approximately six participants at a time, the course allows for expert and individual attention from the trainers, as well as the close support and experience of the group: the ideal learning environment for lasting and embedded change.

Course Aims

• To provide understanding of excellent leadership practice;
• To learn communication collaboration and negotiation skills;
• To cultivate effective professional relationships;
• To develop tools for managing personal challenges and organisational success.
