Course: Fundamentals of Leadership @ WCC

Description: 

This class takes managers and supervisors on a two-day journey that begins with a discussion of great leaders and the characteristics they demonstrate. This discussion sets the stage for a program that allows participants to identify their own individual style and gain tools and techniques to make their personal strengths most effective. Attendees complete the Everything DiSC Workplace Profile, a nonjudgmental personality tool for understanding their behaviors in the workplace. Leaders use this knowledge to understand behavior across four primary dimensions. DiSC Profile information creates a baseline for exploration of skills and techniques to enhance leadership effectiveness including:

• Individual approaches in response to different workplace styles.
• Best practices for working with particular styles.
• Tools for identifying styles in others.
• Balancing approaches to build effective workplace relationships.
• Emotional intelligence and communicating intentions.
• The essentials for establishing SMART goals.
• Building a team through targeted recruitment and behavioral interviewing.
