Leadership, an important skill at the height of a crisis

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us a lesson or two – that our business can be disrupted at any time, and that we must be prepared for an ever-changing workplace. For the learning and development (learning and development) community, the challenges were severe and serious. Many teacher-led training courses (ILTs) have been canceled, more teams are shifting to remote work, and new safety training needs are becoming a priority. These are just a few of the challenges. Despite the uncertainty, many people have taken advantage of the economic downturn to learn new skills.

In times of trouble, strong leaders emerge because they demonstrate flexibility and the ability to develop innovative solutions to problems. They focus on results and progress, even if they encounter obstacles. During COVID-19, here are some of the most in-demand driving courses:

1- emotional intelligence

Leaders with emotional intelligence have the skills to build good relationships with those around them. They know how to navigate relationships more effectively and are generally successful in their personal and professional lives. This course helps leaders understand the importance of emotional intelligence and provides positive techniques for improvement in a professional environment.

2 – steadfastness

Being a resilient leader means getting back up after being overthrown. All companies face setbacks, and this has been especially true during the pandemic. To acquire the skills to achieve your goals in spite of obstacles, you need courage, perseverance and adaptability. Executives look for this type of training to ensure they are prepared to thrive in an ever-changing and more competitive business environment.

3 – Leading virtual teams

In many organizations, teams are accustomed to working remotely. It appears that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future. This presents new challenges and new opportunities. Leaders look for this type of course to gain knowledge on how to create interactions and happiness, tools/resources, and ensure positive and successful outcomes with a remote team.

4 – Creativity

In a rapidly changing business environment, survival depends on the ability to innovate successfully. Leadership plays an important role in developing and sustaining a culture that is open to a creative and innovative mindset. Leaders who want to encourage creativity must create a culture where discussion and learning come together to inspire good work.

5 – training

Many great leaders are also great coaches. Coaches who make a mark don’t talk much, but listen and ask lots of questions. Coaches should also show their employees that they care about their future. Supporting new managers is a particularly important area. Leaders are responsible for helping their new managers realize the impact of their role on the organization.
