• Developing core communication skills

  Regardless of the size of your organization, communication skills are essential for success. Effective communication is all about conveying your messages to other people clearly.

Through the Leadership in Action course you will learn crucial communication skills that will help you and your employees.
  
  

• Identifying the critical steps to becoming a coach for your employees

  For an organization to be healthy and productive, it must have strong leadership. By being a good coach you will help your employees become more effective in their position, build stronger workplace relationships, and promote a more positive work environment. The Leadership in Action course will show you how to be the best workplace coach you can be.
  
  

• Recognizing the stages of team growth and the supervisor's role

  B.W. Tuckman introduced the concept that all teams go through four "stages" of growth - Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing - and that the mood of the team changes as it moves through these stages. As a supervisor, understanding this model makes it possible to more readily diagnose what is happening with the team dynamics over time and to accommodate the needs of the team at each stage. The Leadership in Action course will help you do just that.

  
  
  

• Identifying some useful strategies for better solutions to problems

  As humans, we go about the task of problem solving every day. Whether these problems are big or small, they still effect how we work and live. Having good problem solving strategies will help you overcome the problems you face every day, whether at work or at home. Learning these skills will help you get through the problems quickly and effectively so that you can get back to the task at hand.
  
  

• Knowing how to create motivation in employees without money

  It's no secret. Employees who feel they are valued and recognized for the work they do are more motivated, responsible and productive. In addition, supervisors and managers can create a more dynamic, loyal and energized workplace when employees are encouraged to search out their strengths and use them every day. The Leadership in Action course will give you some great ideas to motivate your employees without using money.
  
  

• Becoming better at delegating to employees

  Delegating is a critical skill for supervisors. It involves working with an employee to establish goals, granting them sufficient authority and responsibility to achieve the goals, etc. Ultimately, the supervisor retains responsibility for the attainment of the goals, but chooses to achieve the goals by delegating to someone else. Supervisors that can effectively delegate can free up a great deal of their own time, give their employees a chance to grow within the organization, and can help to develop their own leadership skills.
