The content spotlight this week is on Leadership HQ's Leadership Attitude Toolkit Course.

“Leadership is something that affects each of us, every single day. And great leadership can transform an individual, a team and an organisation like nothing else can.” Sonia McDonald.  Sonia McDonald. (McDonald is the expert behind the Leadership Attitude Toolkit). 

The Leadership Attitude Toolkit is the course you need to start your employees on their leadership journey. Designed for individuals who may not currently be leaders in their workplace, the detailed toolkit helps them transition into a leadership position. It does this by teaching essential tangible and non-tangible skills to help them adapt to the new role and succeed.  

Within the one course, a learner is taken through a full leadership training circuit. Discussion of frameworks begin the course providing the right amount of theoretical foundations for learners, so they can understand the different types of leaders and the critical difference between leaders and managers. However the emphasis of the course lies with the content that discusses people leadership. Leaders need the right communication styles to get results from their teams. This course helps provides skills on how to mentor, coach and deal with disruption.  

It is a thorough course, which speaks to its name as being a toolkit for your staff to go to, throughout their journey of leadership.   

The course has four modules built out with a variety of chapters containing different learning resources called chapters. 

In total these topics include a series of videos, PDF resources, bonus content and each chapter concludes with a quiz.

The content spotlight this week is on BizLibrary's Leadership Fundamentals Courses.

Traditionally, leadership training focused on telling you "how to be a leader". Often this type of leadership training is too inflexible and not very effective. This has led to the general stigma that leadership training is too complex to teach.  

The reality, as explained in this seven-part Leadership series, is that the type of leadership that will work best will differ in every situation - and it requires knowledge and flexibility for a leader to be able to identify the type of skills they should be using. This course was selected by Go1 as it helps learners to recognise the demands placed on them as leaders in different situations,  better preparing them for the leadership challenges ahead. In each lesson, learn why no single leadership style is perfectly suited to all situations. The series also covers the history of leadership, and also helps learners understand how leadership styles have evolved. 

This course includes seven video lessons with a final quiz at the end of the course.

Microlearn is a UK-based content provider specializing in soft skills and professional development microlearning videos. Through Go1, you can now access more than 250 of Microlearn’s short video courses.

Welcome to the Go1 Course Category series. Each month I will introduce a different category of content and several suggested courses you should consider including in your learning program.

This question often troubles Human Resource Managers, and the doubt around leadership courses means leadership is often left out of learning programs in favour of courses for more tangible skills such as Excel or speech preparation.

The distinction to make is that leadership courses don't have to be broad brush theory based - it’s the skills that can be taught under the tag of leadership that make the difference: empowerment, effective risk assessment and management, articulating company vision and much more. The significance leadership plays in every organisation's success means it should be part of your learning programs, so continue reading if you want to better understand how to best do that.

How do I fit leadership training into my organisation using Go1?

Start with a leadership program that supports new and young leaders offering career pathways to employees, further increasing retention. You might have identified employees who you think are your organisation's futures leaders, however personality aside, leaders need the combination of the right training and qualities.

How to provide leaders with targeted leadership training?

Employees are less likely to trust their management when leadership skills are lacking, so its important first-time leaders have some foundational knowledge to manage their new responsibilities. Eagles Flight, a large organisation, agrees it’s important to explain the rationale behind doing things, rather than simply laying them down. But once it’s understood why things are valid and worth the time, it’s more applicable in wider settings and therefore a more useful and powerful training method.

Within Go1 Premium you are exposed to over 350 courses tagged as leadership. To begin, focus on building out a small program and pick the content areas that follow the equation of including (1) theory and (2) skills.

The spotlight is on SkillSoft this month. SkillSoft was chosen as the provider with quality leadership content, because they effectively balance the theory content with relevant tactical tips. With 418 courses in Go1 Premium, they've got 46 courses tagged as leadership. There is a strong emphasis throughout the courses tagged as leadership as being for first-time and/or junior managers.

They have a strong balance between theory and skills-based courses, including managing functional teams, performance plans and positive leadership. We suggest building out a leadership Award, and assigning to new or upcoming leaders to form part of their professional development.

First course to add to that Award is SkillSoft's 'Building a Leadership Development Plan.'

Creating your own leadership development plan is a significant part of any successful and valuable leadership development strategy. This plan will help ensure you remain focused on what is required to continually grow and develop as a leader. In this course, you'll learn about how to assess yourself as a leader, establish a vision for the future, and identify obstacles to that vision.

Come back next week to find out what other leadership courses we suggest to add to your Award.
