The Importance of Knowing HOW to lead Your Team

Any business class can teach you the basics of leadership: communicate clearly, listen and observe, admit to shortcomings…but understanding HOW to apply these principles is a more complex discussion.

 

Rather than simply citing facts and platitudes, HR NETwork’s leadership training delves into the “why” and “how” behind common leadership strategies. 


Every team is unique, and this course provides a clear roadmap on how to adapt your training to each individual. For example, you know that good leaders lead by example, but what if certain members of your team are unobservant or forgetful? How can you reach the most difficult employees, while still leading by example rather than barking orders?

With an in-depth look into people skills, problem solving, and conflict resolution, you’ll be able to handle even the toughest team members.

What to Expect From HR NETworks Leadership Training

Like our other courses, HR NETwork’s leadership training includes several key points that will help small businesses thrive and grow.

Attract, Motivate, and Retain

First, participants will learn what it takes to be the kind of leader people actually want to work for. With unemployment rates on the rise, securing and retaining talent can be a challenge, but fostering a passion for leadership can help change outcomes significantly.

Creating Your Mission, Vision, and Values That Will Stick

Another key in leadership training is figuring out how to create values that not only align with your core beliefs, but that will resonate with team members as well. HR NETwork’s course walks you through this process step by step, ensuring each participant has a clear vision and path forward by the end. 

Conflict Styles and Problem Solving

Although most people are naturally averse to conflict, learning to face and handle real problems on a team is one of the most important skills a leader can develop. HR NETwork discusses the different styles of conflict management, and how to apply each of them to different situations. 

Coaching and Mentoring for Results

Along with learning how to solve problems, a good leader should also understand how to effectively coach and mentor team members. Creating individualized plans for each team member’s growth will not only strengthen bonds, but will lead to tangible results in productivity. 

People and Relationship Skill Building

For some people in leadership positions, breaking through the barrier of getting to know people and fostering relationships can be the most challenging task. HR NETwork walks through real skills that can be used to broach topics naturally, increase goodwill, and genuinely connect with team members.
