Leadership and People Management

Great leaders make all the difference when it comes to people management skills. While leaders must be able to perform their core responsibilities, their people management skill is equally important as it influences their team members’ motivation, as well as how people feel about their job.

A survey in 2020 says that 54% of employees in Singapore intend to stay in their jobs because their managers are effective in helping them resolve their work-related issues. Effective leaders are clearly a huge factor when it comes to company retention. This means the loyal employees are staying and wasted company resources are lessened.

Good leaders cultivate a culture of teamwork and positivity among their team members, create an exciting vision for employees, think long-term, take risks, and embrace changes. They also build interpersonal relationships and focus on their team members to get to know their strengths and weaknesses. They recognise the strengths of their teams and provide support for the weaknesses.

The Leadership and People Management course is designed in such a way that it achieves one simple goal—to produce leaders with a growth mindset. Whether you are currently a leader in your organisation or you are aspiring to be one, this course will provide you with insights into what it takes to be a leader in this era wherein so many changes have taken place, and are bound to take place in the future. It also explores a leadership development roadmap, from leading strategy development and implementation to guiding change in a diverse and fast-changing business environment.

People management is overlooked most of the time because many are under the impression that there are far more important things to focus on. While it is classified as a soft skill, it can make or break a team, and even an entire company in the process.

Businesses that flourish have employees that are happy and positively motivated, all thanks to their leader with great people management skills who has compassion, enthusiasm, and appreciation for what they do.
