"It seems that increasing numbers of people in local businesses are progressing into management positions," says Ali Wilson, LC's courses and events manager, "which means the demand for early stage management training is greater than ever.
"Because of this trend, we are now offering what we think is the next logical step - a course for people who have some management experience and who now need or want to learn to be leaders."
21st Century Leadership on September 11th and 12th is a new two-day interactive, reflective and highly practical course, leading to concrete actions to achieve success through positive and engaging leadership behaviours.
Offered by Development Group International (DGI) - the training organisation which delivers LC's 'Transition to Management' courses - this follow-on course focuses on getting individuals to recognise their natural approach to leadership, to understand where they may benefit from adjusting their style and to be clear on the key challenges a leader must face. Business will always demand 'the outcome' (strategic goals) but it is how we get there that will dictate the long term success of the organisation. And the how is down to us; leaders at whatever level of our company.
It aims to enable managers to become effective leaders by:
- Knowing what to work on to create a high performing climate through leadership behaviours
- Providing tools and techniques to enable you to lead through change
- Helping you become highly self aware and able to adapt yourself to achieve the maximum potential of your team.

Also coming up - on Thursday July 17th - is Psychology of Persuasion, a one-day workshop designed for anyone who has to persuade others regularly as part of their job.
Whether you have to persuade someone to buy, invest, buy into, change, or do something, understanding the psychology behind how we are persuaded and why we resist is essential for an effective result.
