Description

Transformational Leadership: How Leaders Change Teams, Companies, and OrganizationsTaught By Professor Michael A. Roberto, D.B.A.Contrary to what you may have heard, great leaders aren’t born. They’re made. The ability to effectively lead teams, transform entire organizations, and achieve ambitious goals comes not from an inherent set of personality traits but from the mastery of a specific set of skills essential to the success of leaders at many levels and in many fields.Chief among the specific skills of transformational leadership are    establishing a compelling vision,    persuading and influencing others who may not agree with you,    motivating people who may be wary of changes in the status quo,    building an effective team that can manage and institutionalize change, and    sparking innovative thinking.Possessing these and other leadership abilities are powerful tools; so powerful, in fact, that when used correctly they can turn winless teams into renowned champions, unmotivated departments into engines of creativity, and money losers into market leaders. What’s more, these are skills that can be learned, practiced, cultivated, and applied to almost any aspect of your professional life—whether you’re currently working in a leadership position, preparing to take on a more prominent role in your career, or looking to understand the secret knowledge of how great leaders do what they do.Transformational Leadership: How Leaders Change Teams, Companies, and Organizations is your essential handbook for strategies, concepts, and insights into the dynamics of transformational leadership. Delivered by award-winning Professor Michael A. Roberto of Bryant University—a Harvard Business School–educated instructor who has spent years as a leadership consultant and teacher for Fortune 500 companies, including Apple, Target, and Federal Express—these 24 lectures are an in-depth examination of the leadership behaviors and capabilities essential to creating positive change in teams and organizations. Filled with case studies and lessons from leaders in business, politics, sports, and the military, as well as a range of specific skills and strategies you can put to use in your own career, this course is an authoritative guide to successful leadership.Find more about this package here:http://www.thegreatcourses.com/tgc/courses/course_detail.aspx?cid=5943
