What if leadership began long before you were responsible for leading a team?
Leadership does not begin when you take on a new role or become responsible for a team. It begins when you learn to understand yourself better, communicate with clarity, organise your work effectively and build trust with the people you work alongside.
Today, organisations need professionals who can combine strong results with outstanding interpersonal skills. Professionals who can coordinate projects, foster collaboration, manage challenging conversations and create environments where others can fulfil their potential.
The Online Course in Essential Leadership Skills provides the foundations to help you achieve exactly that.
Throughout the programme, you will develop the core competencies that underpin every leadership style: self-awareness, personal productivity, interpersonal communication, creativity, teamwork, leadership and negotiation.
Throughout the programme, you will also develop a Personal Development Plan (PDP)—a practical roadmap that will help you identify your strengths, prioritise the competencies you wish to continue developing and turn learning into an ongoing process of professional growth.
Once you have consolidated these core competencies, you can continue with the Online Course in Leadership Development: People and Teams, where you will explore the Leader as Coach model, Systems Thinking and Emotional Intelligence to address more complex leadership challenges.
What makes this course different?
A holistic approach to leadership
You will develop your self-awareness, personal productivity, communication and teamwork skills. You will also strengthen your competencies in negotiation, leadership and people development.
The aim is to help you understand how these areas are interconnected and how they influence your professional performance.
Belbin assessment
The course includes the Belbin assessment as a tool for self-awareness and team analysis.
It will help you identify your strengths and the role you tend to adopt when working with others. It will also enable you to understand how to collaborate more effectively with people who have different working styles.
Personal Development Plan
Throughout the course, you will create a Personal Development Plan (PDP) tailored to your goals.
It will bring together your strengths, development areas and the practical actions you will take to continue progressing. It will serve as a clear roadmap for your ongoing leadership development.
University microcredential
Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a university microcredential recognised within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
This qualification formally recognises the competencies developed throughout the programme and provides academic recognition of your professional development.
