Being a leader is not just about managing others. It’s also about being a positive role model with others, taking personal responsibility for your actions, and taking the lead to increase your contribution to the organization. Personal leadership is also about communicating well with others, being able to manage conflict when it arises, and inspiring others to be their best. You certainly don’t have to have direct employees to do any of that.

When we make the effort to build our personal leadership skills, we increase our contribution to the organization, are seen as valuable players, and create future opportunities for our career. The Building Your Leadership Skills course will help you strengthen your leadership skills for whatever role you may have, now as well as in the future.

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Keep your customers informed of key information, progress and status updates

• Actively seek the thoughts and opinions of others in key situations

• Demonstrate good judgment for how creative ideas and suggestions will work

• Perform an integrity review on your actions and behaviors

• Identify what you need to do differently to effectively contribute to the organization strategy
