Introduction to Engaging Leadership (edX)

Introduction to Engaging Leadership (edX)

People are the real drivers of business for any organisation. Even the best products and processes would fail to take an organisation very far if people are not on the same page with the management regarding the goals and objectives. If employees are not engaged, they may not give their best. They may not be enthusiastic in taking new initiatives looking for fresh ideas and solutions. They will not own up to the responsibility for the success and growth. Leaders, thus, have the responsibility to ensure greater engagement, participation and a sense of ownership among employees. And for this, they need to understand the circumstances and reasons for the lack of engagement. They can do this by engaging with their people.

Engaged employees are more committed, more involved with what they do, and are innovative. All this, in turn, enables companies to have higher productivity and profitability. Other benefits include lower stress levels, a better workplace environment for employees leading to lower employee turnover, higher loyalty to and trust in the leadership and the organisation. The benefits are immense and obvious.
But this demands leaders to be engaging ones. Leaders who can communicate with, read the minds and understand the moods of their people. Leaders who can make the point through effective communication, draw the big picture before their people for them to feel connected and be aligned with what they do. Moreover, leaders must be able to motivate the employees.
This programme aims at equipping managers and leaders with skills, strengths and understanding to be engaging leaders.
