Summary
Business leadership is not a simple task. Countless people have dedicated their entire professional life to climbing the corporate ladder, yet only a select few will achieve their goals.
To be an effective leader requires a complex skill set. One would need the ability to effectively align their personal goals, business goals, and organisational culture. Furthermore, a leader needs to have a vision and be innovative. While innovation may not come naturally, they need to manifest and foster inspiration within the workforce and absorb what’s happening around them to utilise it to further business prospects.
To maintain an edge in the business culture, it is essential to develop a particular leadership style. An authoritarian leader will have sole decision-making power and control over those below them. Authoritarian leadership can be highly beneficial in a fast-paced organisation where mistakes need to be addressed as they happen and where there would not be time for a team to meet and plan ways to correct them.
While the responsibility of this leadership style can feel hindering to creativity, it does not have to remain that way. There are a vast number of techniques and methods an authoritarian leader can learn and later utilise to generate ideas and visions that can be developed and implemented into the business.
- To understand the characteristics of an authoritarian leader.
- To command respect from peers and subordinates.

- To determine your role as an effective leader.
- To analyse personal capabilities and explore areas for improvement.

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of current leaders on a local and regional level to identify communication styles, leadership styles, and methods of management.
Analysing leaders that have already risen to success within their respective fields will allow participants an extensive understanding of the taught content. The opportunity grants them the ability to apply the theories and concepts they have learned to existing people and organisations where they can assess how they apply them in practice.
