Leading with Your BEST
(includes My BEST Leadership Style assessment)
SHRM Leadership Competency: Leading the Self

Class Overview: Leading with Your BEST

If you Google "effective leadership skills," "developing leadership skills," "characteristics of a good leader" or anything in that ballpark, you'll notice a pattern: Almost every article, website or business leadership skills "solution" is geared toward trying harder and investing in developing weaknesses. Or trying to adopt certain leadership qualities that simply don't
come naturally. When leaders do this, it doesn't produce long-lasting results and it doesn’t allow them to lead with their BEST. 

Great leaders actually start somewhere else: They start with an awareness, of both themselves (through strengths) and their job (their role and expectations). They should begin with a goal in mind, communicate the desired outcomes and then identify where they've had success in the past -- and then consider how they'll use those successes to help them now. Self-awareness is key in using your strengths. It's hard to use something you're not aware that you have.

In this class you will gain awareness into leadership styles that will help leaders maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, so they can effectively lead themselves and their teams to perform at their BEST.
