Diploma in Leadership and Supervision
About this course
People who are promoted or who move to supervisory or managerial positions from technical or professional backgrounds often are thrown in at the deep end without formal management training. The material in this course demystifies management and offers a comprehensive guide to what to expect and how to cope with people and tasks, and a highly practical overview of the principles and practice of effective leadership for small to medium-sized organisations. The course handbook provides essential learning in easy chunks, accessible explanations of theory and tips, techniques and tools to enable leaders to become effective in every area of the organisation.
Topics include understanding the organisation, exploding myths about management, the corporate board, the CEO, core leadership, self-management & communication skills, strategic leadership of the organisation, recruitment, and personnel management.
The course will be helpful to consultants, coaches, investors, HR professionals and those new to business management; as a preparation for more complex or academic business courses, as a preparation for promotional or career-change interviews, as a bridge-builder for professionals who need to liaise with managers, as a refresher and confidence-builder for established managers coping with change.
The course will also be of interest to students taking a gap year in industry before attending college, those seeking a relevant learning experience before applying for further business or management courses, and those considering launching a business as a limited company and becoming directors for the first time.
The course material is American-based and suitable for the international student. Though students may apply from any country, gap year students seeking to work in the US, or those hoping to emigrate to the States, may find it provides useful background. Most of the course material is based on general principles and is very similar to what is expected in the UK. However, the course does not cover UK business and employment law and regulations, and students needing knowledge of business-related laws in any specific jurisdiction will need to supplement the course with other reading and study. Many firms, though, provide on-the-job training and education in such matters as part of induction and employee development.
This course is based upon procedures in profit-making enterprises. A special version of this course is under development for non-profits. Please enquire if you are interested in the non-profit version.
Companies - you can use this course, supplemented with your own training materials, to prepare employees to be candidates for promotion, or as a supplement to your induction package.
