Leadership Basics Research supports that a leader’s understanding of personal and subordinate emotional
intelligence can help the leader understand, foster, and enhance self-efficacy and
collective efficacy, and thereby enhance performance. Therefore, developing skills
in the areas of emotional intelligence and self-efficacy are key building blocks of
leadership.
Communication In this session, participants will gain an understanding and appreciation of the differences
between the product-centric and customer-centric business models. After an objective
comparison of them, the facilitator will expound on how customer-centricity outpaces
a product-centric strategy for creating long-term sustainable value for customers
and the organization.
Conflict Management For employees, the pandemic has served to heighten negative emotions, which tend to
carry more weight in colouring their attitudes and behaviours. As we return to the
workplace, those negative attitudes and emotions can quickly spread through an organization
– creating a culture of negativity that interferes with employee motivation, engagement
and performance. In addition, in an organizational culture of negativity, employee
attitudes will likely include incivility, cynicism, hostility toward others, and distrust
of coworkers. As a leader, you are a role model and employees will look to you for
guidance. This presentation will include an overview of the signs that your organizational
culture needs work along with steps that you can take to purposefully institute organizational
culture change.
Ethical Leadership / Decision Making Leadership in a digitalized world requires dealing with an unpredictable and challenging
future with increased responsibilities amid transitions, disruptions, chaos, and ambiguity.

computers can affect the lives and livelihood of people. As the adoption of technology
increases in every university, organization, business, and company - so are there
increases in risks and a greater need for accountability. Ethical leaders in a digitalized
world must communicate the impact of digital initiatives on society and adopt personal
and professional ethics that establish a culture that influences decisions and policy
to prevent unethical behavior by machines.

Self-Development Learn is a journey Self-development: Possibilities of Learnings and International
Network during Covid-19 During the pandemic, many of us had to adapt our lives given
the risk to be contaminated by a coronavirus, and at the same time, to accomplish
with our personal and professional responsibilities. In this context, self-development
became an important aspect. We needed to learn how to re-learn and so to overcome
the barriers of lockdown and social distancing. In fact, we had to reinvent ourselves
in a short period of time. Instantly, we had to adapt our homes into home offices,
and using the resources that we had at home.
