Leadership is all about making things happen and putting your stamp on the future.   An efficient structure of leadership within a business is what sets you apart from its competitors.  Research clearly indicates that leadership skills can be identified and developed through leadership training.  Investing in staff leadership training and mentoring with staff in key positions as early as possible will prove to be extremely beneficial as the business grows in size.

In our courses, leadership skills and qualities are carefully observed through out our leadership activities and feedback is provided constantly to improve the candidates as much as possible. With this approach, common mistakes are ironed out quickly through group discussion and good practise is encouraged.  The course provides opportunities for learners to develop leadership skills and demonstrate how they perform in a leadership role.

The Leadership Training course is based on four curriculum modules:–

• Develop Leadership Skills
• Be a Leader
• Review your Leadership
• Support New Leaders

• Understand how Leadership skills can be used to develop your team.
• Develop the Leadership skills that help improve individual performance.
• Demonstrate the behaviours and practices of an effective Leader.
• Recognise employees’ strengths and give them the feedback they need to succeed.
• Identify employee problems and ways you can help to correct them.

Leadership should not be confused with career counselling or performance reviews.  Although Leadership is related to both these activities, it differs in that it is the day-to-day hands-on process of helping employees recognise their opportunities to improve their performance and their capabilities.

SMARTT’s Leadership Training Courses will Develop effective Leadership Skills for selected personnel to become new leaders.  Our goal is to improve the performance of individuals and organisations. Our expertise lies in creating a space and place where individuals can experience deep and lasting learning which is transferable into the workplace.
