Leadership Toolkit Series

Abstract

Many people don’t make a conscious decision to become a leader. As they gain experience and expertise within their chosen discipline, their skills are demonstrated and recognised. They find themselves in a position of leadership. Succeeding in a leadership role can be a challenge, requiring new perspectives, another area of knowledge, different skillsets and personality traits. Success will often require making decisions, not based on logic and analysis but utilising the ‘soft skills’ of listening, understanding personal relationships, human interaction and empathy. The Leadership Toolkit will assist individuals, teams and organisations realise their potential and assist in the transition from skilled worker to successful leader.
