Then, dive into the Team Effectiveness Pyramid and discover important metrics you can use to foster collaboration and productivity.
Leading successful teams is a complex endeavor. Discover forces that can negatively impact a leader’s ability to oversee collaborative teams on a global scale. Then, learn to apply the Five Distance Dimensions framework to assess how different types of distances affect team communication skills and relationships within remote or office settings.
Balancing employee needs with business objectives is one of a leader’s most challenging tasks. Explore different approaches to management and discover how to strike a balance in job design.
A leader’s personal power can come from a variety of sources, including formal authority, personal charisma, resource control, or strategic alliances. Explore the foundations of social power and discover how you can leverage power and influence to broaden your impact in the workplace.
Being a persuasive leader requires a delicate balance of direct and indirect communication. Discover how making connections, building rapport, and communicating effectively can help increase your ability to earn stakeholder support.
Your personal narrative, presence, and poise are powerful tools that can be leveraged to persuade and motivate others. In the final week, you will use leadership frameworks and methods to harness the leadership role.
