Leadership Development Skills Training (Part 2)
This 2-day training from the Leadership Training Institute is integral in developing leadership skills for people with shared lived- experience in HIV, Hep C, Harm Reduction, PrEP and our newest addition, Criminal Justice.
In this training program, we will continue to develop skills in applying Situational Leadership and emotional intelligence. Research has shown that leaders with high “EQ”, can understand their own emotions and how it affects their performance. Good leaders must be able to influence others and learning to control emotions allows us to understand and assist others in managing theirs as well.
There are 6 hours of CEU credits for anyone taking this course with the exception of non-certified Peer Workers, who are pursuing certification, which means there are no credits for this course until you complete certification
This course does not require taking Leadership Development Part 1. Both courses can stand alone depending on what your needs are in Leadership development.
Training objectives:
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Recognize your own preferred style of leadership.
2. Explain the 4 styles of situational leadership – telling, selling, participating, and delegating.
3. Adapt your preferred leadership style to match the needs of others.
4. Discover your bases of power when working with people.
5. Apply emotional intelligence appropriately.
