Introduction to Leadership and Management

Leaders of teams whether big or small have a big responsibility to fulfill. These include creating or facilitating the creation of a vision, inspiring and motivating the members while seeing to it that team goals come to fruition.

Since Leaders are commissioned (either by a higher authority or the team itself) to bring in result, they must see to it that roles are clear and individuals in the team are capable of and willing to do their part. Considering all these, a Leader must be properly equipped with a battery of tools and tactics in order to succeed.

In a lot of companies, Leaders are picked not due to their Leadership skills but their ability to do their current responsibility effectively. They are the best performers, hence their bosses believe that this makes them the most qualified person to carry out the Leadership role. But leadership or management require an entirely new set of knowledge, skills and attitudes and without proper preparation, a newly installed leader will have a hard time coping with the job or worst mangle the job.

The main purpose of this course is to help budding leaders/managers prepare for or cope with their new management responsibilities. The learning activities will help them realize what competencies they need to posses and what values they need to embrace as leaders. This will also equip them to distinguish between leading and managing and learn to effectively use the tools offered whenever it is right to use them.
