Leaders of successful sales organizations focus on strategic planning, intentional hiring, and effective coaching. They build a solid and well-defined sales framework that undergirds their sales team’s efforts. They prioritize hiring people who have the right skills, energy, and outlook. And they develop work environments that are highly structured, purposefully challenging, and appropriately supportive. When sales leaders achieve a good balance of these three factors, the sales process is streamlined, organized, and successful. 

• Build a strategic framework   

• Hire qualified salespeople  

• Coach your team members

Consistent business analysis is critical to a company’s short- and long-term success. Because the SWOT framework is such a simple, flexible, and powerful tool, organizations can use it to examine, plan, and implement business decisions and plans that range from incremental to comprehensive. By gathering a range of input from inside and outside the organization, your analysis will provide substantial, relevant, and objective data to guide your decision-making. Whether you’re planning new corporate-wide strategic goals or reviewing departmental processes, a well-executed SWOT analysis will enable you to focus on your strengths, diminish threats, and take advantage of identified business and market opportunities as you move forward.

• Describe SWOT Analysis   

• Conduct a SWOT Analysis   

• Create a SWOT Action Plan

Leaders face conflict situations regularly as they manage team members, departmental issues, and organizational challenges. While there are core principles for solving these problems, they can’t all be solved using one strategy. Personality conflict between co-workers requires one approach, while an interdepartmental conflict requires another. In this lesson, we’ll look at several incidents and discuss how to resolve them. We’ll also suggest other strategies you can employ to address and minimize conflict in your workplace.

• Manage small group conflict   

• Manage large group conflict   

• Identify more strategies, tools, and thoughts on managing conflict

Employees working in an organization bring a level of enthusiasm and energy to the work they do in the organization. They are committed and creative in their approach. This energy is crucial for any organizational success, and it is termed as emotional motivation. The factors influencing this energy level can be either intrinsic or extrinsic. In this lesson, you will learn about both intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and how to leverage them. 

How do you motivate your team to do their best? You give them the tools, trust, and time to make their jobs personal. You provide enough challenge for them to work at facilitating better, but not so hard that they become discouraged. Help them connect with their work and give them a reason to work, which is beyond the paycheck. 

• Explain the challenges of using extrinsic motivation 

• Learn the three methods of intrinsic motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose

To better understand today’s digital age, it’s important to look back at the Industrial Revolution. As Steve Jobs said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward.” Just as the steam engine and other machines transformed the 18th-century economy, digital technologies are changing our world economy, business practices, customer expectations, and societal norms—and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. And while it’s impossible to predict the exact changes that lie ahead, it’s possible to predict who will succeed: agile organizations who are able to quickly take advantage of new opportunities by applying digital technologies.

• Understand the parallels between the industrial revolution and the digital revolution

• Define Digital Transformation

• Understand how digital is changing the operation of businesses, affecting all business sectors, and is making organizations flatter

The old saying, greater the risk, greater the rewards has probably rung true for many of us in different stages and areas of life. However, still most people tend to avoid risks when possible, because they think that inaction is often safer than action. The belief is that taking a risk is “exposing oneself to the possibility of loss or injury in the hopes of achieving a gain or reward.” But the legendary boxer Muhammed Ali stated “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” In this course, you will learn to mitigate risks and start taking calculated risks.

• Recognize the need for smart risk-taking and its 5 components

• Determine the strategies of smart risk-taking  

• List the types of risk-taking cultures

The balance sheet is one of several financial reports that organizations use for monitoring and planning purposes. It is a snapshot of a company’s financials on a specific date. All balance sheets include three components: assets, liabilities, and owner’s (or shareholder’s) equity. The report shows the resources an organization owns (assets), how much money it owes (liabilities), and how much equity the owners (or shareholders) have after liabilities are subtracted from the assets. This is also called the net worth of the company. Some of the benefits of being able to read and understand a balance sheet include making better management decisions, identifying potential financial issues before they cause bigger problems, and improving your company’s organizational efficiency.

• Record the assets of a company    

• Define liabilities    

• Explain owner’s equity

"“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” 

-George Bernard Shaw 

Thanks to technology, we now have numerous ways to communicate with one another. Organizations depend on social media, texting, and tweeting in addition to emails to present themselves to all the stakeholders.

With COVID-19 meaning that home working is no longer an option but a necessity for many, what are the potential side effects on our health and work performance. Employers may need to provide additional training to ensure appropriate supervision and work behaviours. These include remote technology, communication skills development, time management and ergonomics.

Managing remote teams and business continuity are operational priorities for companies during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Remote working allows some operations to continue and facilitate flexible work schedules, which typically improves individual performance. However, greater flexibility and leading teams remotely puts a greater burden on managers and makes supervision more complex. 

The group of workers who experience most difficulty in handling ‘boundary-less’ working are actually managers.  This is mainly because they are connected longer in their ‘non-working time’.

Organizations are changing, and so are our offices. The new age millennials are shifting toward the virtual world. More and more organizations use virtual teams to meet corporate goals. This has created the need to determine how best to manage and lead these virtual groups. 

Traditional methods of managing on-site groups don’t work with remote workers, because virtual teams are most often composed of workers who are spread over a varied geographic and cultural expanse and communicate, for the most part, electronically. Future Workforce Report states that 63 percent of companies utilize virtual workers, but only 57 percent have standards in place to manage the process. 

In this lesson, you will learn to effectively guide teams that they rarely see face-to-face.

• Establish requirements 

• Build mutual trust with your virtual team 

• Communicate frequently with them

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

How much time do you spend developing your leadership succession plan? As older leaders begin to retire at greater rates, the 2018 Deloitte Millennial Survey discovered that 65% of potential millennial leaders feel unprepared to take their places. Forbes reports that by 2025, 75% of the workforce will be made up of millennials. These statistics suggest that there’s a leadership crisis on the horizon. Designing a strategy and framework to direct leadership development is mission critical for every organization. Training—and retaining —emerging leaders in your company should be a top priority. Understanding what team members want and expect from an employer will help you develop the right programs and systems to keep your talent engaged in learning, growing, and contributing to your organization.

Social scientists have studied and designed leadership theories for decades to understand and explain how great leaders are made. They have compiled lists of leadership traits and constructed frameworks and models to illustrate the leadership phenomenon. And while these theories are detailed, thoroughly researched, and insightful, none provide “the” singular leadership model that works for every high-level manager aspiring to lead their team effectively and successfully.

What they do provide is an abundant source of leadership data that can be used to create your own flexible brand of leadership. Leaders face a wide range of tasks, responsibilities, and challenges—both anticipated and unexpected—every day.

Assembling a toolkit of leadership options that can address them is something smart leaders do. Let’s study the specifics of some core leadership theories and how you might use them in different business scenarios.

• Identify the Traits and Contingency theories

• Describe the Behavioral theory

• Explain the Transformational Leadership theory

The majority of meetings should be discussions that lead to decisions.

 -Patrick Lencioni 

An important part of planning a successful meeting is deciding who should attend the meeting. In the previous course, we have learned that less is more. Invite only those persons who are necessary to achieve the vision and are committed to getting the work completed. Similarly, it is equally important to define and assign specific roles and responsibilities to the team members attending the meeting. This is a critical part of pre-planning. Careful planning ahead of time will result in less resentment, less time wasted, better decisions, and greater ownership of the process by each member of the team.

• State the different roles played in a meeting 

• Determine the roles and responsibilities of a meeting leader
