RATIONALE
One of the troubling tendencies observed among organization- owners is the propensity to appoint an employee to a management level based solely on the fact that they have performed well in their current position. This is usually the case at a time when there is the urgent need for a replacement at a higher level in organizations. The issue is not with promoting from within but the leap from a front-line position to a management position where the scope of expectations far exceeds the skills-set of the individual which could be daunting for anyone. Therefore, the need for formal training or mentorship of the individual before taking such a quantum leap, is almost mandatory or absolutely necessary.
To become a successful leader, one must master certain skills in leadership. Some of these include problem-solving skills, decision-making skills, planning, delegation and organizational skills, communication skills, among others. This course will equip its participants with the necessary dispositions and skills to become better leaders in their work place or in their chosen career.
