In the previous lessons, you have learned the four skills of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management to increase your EQ and strengthen your ability to manage yourself and influence others. Boosting your emotional intelligence will leverage your existing skills, IQ, personality, education, and experience even more. This should align with the benefits of increasing your EQ as a leader in terms of how they deal with their people and increase their leadership skills. Consider that you may have the best plan and strategy, but it will not matter unless you communicate this strategy to your team, persuade them to work on it, listen to their inputs, and guide them through the hurdles. You will be able to do this through an exhibition of strong EQ. In this lesson, we will outline some strategies, exercises, and ideas you can use to become an emotionally intelligent leader. You need people skills to execute and succeed in your plan. Developing your EQ will supercharge your leadership arsenal.

• Apply strategies that will help you become self-aware 

• Practice self-management techniques 

• List the methods to execute social awareness 

• State the techniques to exhibit relationship management

If you want to unleash the power of your diverse team, you must also foster inclusivity. Your team members are more likely to contribute their unique perspectives and experiences when they feel welcomed and respected within the group. Inclusion is a team-wide endeavor, and you must be the leader. Helping team members find common ground and at the same time learning about and respecting each other’s differences is the key to creating an inclusive work environment that will leverage both talents and abilities of your diverse team.

• Identify the importance of managing diversity

• Enlist tips for building a strong team

• Explore the strategies of managing diversity

Research shows that 1 in 4 people will suffer from a mental health condition at some point in their lives, and 1 in 6 will experience mental health problems in the workplace. In fact, work pressures are commonly cited as being the number one contributor to stress. Mental health problems are often covered up through fear of discrimination, and a culture of fear and silence can make things very much worse - and be extremely costly for employers. Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health: Level 1 is a 100% online training course designed to raise awareness of mental health issues and help the learner to spot symptoms in themselves or others.

Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health: Level 2 is a 100% online training course designed to raise awareness of mental health issues, help the learner to spot symptoms in themselves or others, and outline what steps are to be taken to help those in need and to improve the working environment. This level 2 qualification is targeted to supervisors or team leaders in an organisation who have responsibilities and duty of care over the general health and wellbeing of colleagues. The course outlines how to spot the signs and symptoms of mental ill health, how to provide help on a first aid basis, and when to escalate the level of care or even seek professional help. It also covers how to identify drug or alcohol abuse and what to do about it, and how to improve the working environment so that it is a place of inclusion and openness, rather than a source of fear and stress.

Making your hires successful requires a lot of work. There is a science to identify talent that matches the needs and culture of your organization. The process of interviewing candidates based on behavioral questions is a proven way of pinpointing the best-qualified applicants. In this course, we will review the whys and hows of using this popular interviewing practice so that you can make the most of its benefits.

• Determine what behavioral interview is   

• Enlist steps to prepare for the behavioral interview   

• Create questions using STAR model   

• Conduct behavioral interviews

IOSH Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing course will provide managers with the practical advice and tools to help create a healthy and productive workplace.

IOSH Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing is targeted at line managers and offers them practical advice to manage health risks and understand their responsibilities for the health and wellbeing of staff.  It equips line managers with the basic tools and techniques to play their part in improving health and wellbeing across their organisation.

The course is split into 4 modules and covers:

• Importance of managing workplace health and wellbeing

• Health risk management

• Fitness for work and the need to manage changes in the health status of employees

• The business value of promoting a wellbeing programme

One of the most important leadership roles is a mentor. You are responsible for teaching your employees how to achieve goals, make better decisions, solve problems, and advance their careers. Without formal training in this area, how do you coach or mentor these skills? This course will introduce you to employ a model, built on four simple techniques. By employing these techniques, you will strengthen your coaching skills and develop your team members’ potential.

• Help your team set the goal as per the GROW model 

• Provide assistance in gauging the available options 

• Get your team commit to specific actions to help them make progress

Statistics from the British Crime Survey show that the number of individuals classed as lone workers has been steadily growing, and that as many as 150 lone workers are attacked every single day in the UK. Employees working alone may be left in a situation where they are unable to alert someone for help in the case of an accident, confrontation, or sudden illness - so it’s important that these specific risks are identified early, and effectively controlled.

The course covers the main hazards, applicable legislation, risk assessment, risk reduction measures and key responsibilities of the individual.

Conflict always creates uneasiness in the minds of employees and organizations. Conflict can involve sore emotions and impend relationships. Leaders experience the same emotional distress while handling a conflict situation. The most difficult situation a leader deals with is conflict management. It is observed that ill-managed conflict creates huge costs in the form of time expenditure, higher attrition, legal implications, etc. It also lowers productivity. When people are involved in conflict, they begin to recoil, stop sharing information, and take fewer risks. The result can be poor decision making. Low morale and strained working relationships can cause stress and drain employees’ energy to focus on being creative and productive. In this lesson, you will learn to deal with situational conflict.

• Identify the five stages of organizational conflict  

• Name the five styles of conflict management   

• Interpret when to use the different styles of conflict management

Presentation

This training course describes the various elements of the ship's structure, the loads acting on the structure and the required strength of the ship's structure to sustain such loads.

"“Change is the only constant in life.” 

-Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher 

As a leader, you’re responsible for leading your team to achieve organizational goals. Sometimes that involves changing processes, adopting new technologies, or learning new skills. What do you do when one or more of your employees refuse to change and grow with the rest of the team? People tend to approach change in one of the two ways. They either embrace change and are excited about the possibilities and opportunities inherent in a new adventure. Or they resist change because they fear the unknown. As a leader, you probably have employees in both camps. In this course, we will discuss how to influence the change resisters.

• Identify the fear for change 

• Implement T-chart
