Leadership education is an ongoing process. Your success will increase when you invest time in studying leadership models and characteristics, reading about great leaders, putting your knowledge into practice, and then evaluating the results. It takes different skills and abilities to successfully lead small and large teams. In this course, you will get familiarized with many advantages and disadvantages, as well as the best practices to be adopted to lead small and large teams successfully.

• Identify the strengths and challenges of large and small groups

• Examine the best practices for leading small teams

• Examine the best practices for leading large teams

Over 50 years ago, a social psychologist Douglas McGregor of MIT published a book outlining his research of two contrasting management styles: Theory X and Theory Y.  

He argued that Theory X, based on hierarchy and power, was an outdated authoritarian “top-down” way of managing people. Theory Y, he proposed, was an improved, alternative method of management, one that was more participative and synergistic.

• Define Theory X and Y management styles 

• Describe Theory X and Y from the management’s and worker’s perspective 

• Differentiate between Theory X and Theory Y managerial styles

Sales effectiveness is the process of identifying and utilizing the right sales activities to generate the best sales outcomes. Your definition of a successful sale will depend upon your product, service, corporate goals, and objectives. Companies measure their effectiveness in a variety of ways: increased profit, new product sales, or shortened sales cycle. Successful sales organizations share a commitment to defining, measuring, and optimizing all of the components of their sales process in order to consistently achieve strategic goals. 

• Build an effective sales process   

• Measure your sales process  

• Practice the customer-centric sales approach

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

A new methodology for innovation, “Trystorming” is a combination of “Brainstorming” and “Trying” something practically. This lesson highlights the difference between brainstorming and trystorming, and provides the guidelines for where and when it can be used. Trystorming is a practical approach to innovating by focusing on practically trying or experimenting within reasonable limits to understand the efficacy of an idea before implementing it fully. Take this lesson to pick up the basics of trystorming and lead innovations in your organization.

• Explain what is trystorming 

• Know the difference between trystorming and brainstorming 

• Describe the guidelines for trystorming and where it can be used

In the previous lessons, you have learned the four skills of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management to increase your EQ and strengthen your ability to manage yourself and influence others. Boosting your emotional intelligence will leverage your existing skills, IQ, personality, education, and experience even more. This should align with the benefits of increasing your EQ as a leader in terms of how they deal with their people and increase their leadership skills. Consider that you may have the best plan and strategy, but it will not matter unless you communicate this strategy to your team, persuade them to work on it, listen to their inputs, and guide them through the hurdles. You will be able to do this through an exhibition of strong EQ. In this lesson, we will outline some strategies, exercises, and ideas you can use to become an emotionally intelligent leader. You need people skills to execute and succeed in your plan. Developing your EQ will supercharge your leadership arsenal.

• Apply strategies that will help you become self-aware 

• Practice self-management techniques 

• List the methods to execute social awareness 

• State the techniques to exhibit relationship management
