How much time do you spend developing your leadership succession plan? As older leaders begin to retire at greater rates, the 2018 Deloitte Millennial Survey discovered that 65% of potential millennial leaders feel unprepared to take their places. Forbes reports that by 2025, 75% of the workforce will be made up of millennials. These statistics suggest that there’s a leadership crisis on the horizon. Designing a strategy and framework to direct leadership development is mission critical for every organization. Training—and retaining —emerging leaders in your company should be a top priority. Understanding what team members want and expect from an employer will help you develop the right programs and systems to keep your talent engaged in learning, growing, and contributing to your organization.

• Retain your talented resource   

• Design a leadership development framework   

• Create a culture of learning

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

 -Colin Powell 

A new methodology for innovation, “Trystorming” is a combination of “Brainstorming” and “Trying” something practically. This lesson highlights the difference between brainstorming and trystorming, and provides the guidelines for where and when it can be used. Trystorming is a practical approach to innovating by focusing on practically trying or experimenting within reasonable limits to understand the efficacy of an idea before implementing it fully. Take this lesson to pick up the basics of trystorming and lead innovations in your organization.

• Explain what is trystorming 

• Know the difference between trystorming and brainstorming 

• Describe the guidelines for trystorming and where it can be used

Social scientists have studied and designed leadership theories for decades to understand and explain how great leaders are made. They have compiled lists of leadership traits and constructed frameworks and models to illustrate the leadership phenomenon. And while these theories are detailed, thoroughly researched, and insightful, none provide “the” singular leadership model that works for every high-level manager aspiring to lead their team effectively and successfully.

What they do provide is an abundant source of leadership data that can be used to create your own flexible brand of leadership. Leaders face a wide range of tasks, responsibilities, and challenges—both anticipated and unexpected—every day.

Assembling a toolkit of leadership options that can address them is something smart leaders do. Let’s study the specifics of some core leadership theories and how you might use them in different business scenarios.

• Identify the Traits and Contingency theories

• Describe the Behavioral theory

• Explain the Transformational Leadership theory

The majority of meetings should be discussions that lead to decisions.

 -Patrick Lencioni 

An important part of planning a successful meeting is deciding who should attend the meeting. In the previous course, we have learned that less is more. Invite only those persons who are necessary to achieve the vision and are committed to getting the work completed. Similarly, it is equally important to define and assign specific roles and responsibilities to the team members attending the meeting. This is a critical part of pre-planning. Careful planning ahead of time will result in less resentment, less time wasted, better decisions, and greater ownership of the process by each member of the team.

• State the different roles played in a meeting 

• Determine the roles and responsibilities of a meeting leader

Sales effectiveness is the process of identifying and utilizing the right sales activities to generate the best sales outcomes. Your definition of a successful sale will depend upon your product, service, corporate goals, and objectives. Companies measure their effectiveness in a variety of ways: increased profit, new product sales, or shortened sales cycle. Successful sales organizations share a commitment to defining, measuring, and optimizing all of the components of their sales process in order to consistently achieve strategic goals. 

• Build an effective sales process   

• Measure your sales process  

• Practice the customer-centric sales approach

Managers are often called to present to the groups of customers, cross-departmental teams, or in-house decision-makers. The process of crafting and delivering a presentation requires organizational skills, insight, technical abilities, and courage. Public speaking can be intimidating. But, by taking the time to methodically plan and execute the necessary details, you can be prepared and confident to deliver an effective presentation. This course will walk you through the steps you’ll need to plan and organize your topic, choose visual aids, consider technology tools, and practice delivering your speech. 

• Research, decide, and plan your presentation  

• Create a presentation with additional aid   

• Practice and make the presentation

The Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority has made major changes to the regulations. People who work in tanks and closed rooms are the biggest difference that the regulation "Work in tanks" has fallen away. This is replaced by section 29 of the regulations «execution of work», which states that all work in closed rooms shall be performed «without danger to life or health». A simple requirement that gives the employer a great deal of responsibility.

New SOLAS requirements: Exercises in closed rooms and rescue, as well as portable gas measuring equipment.

Applies to: All ships covered by SOLAS and all high-speed vessels, mobile offshore drilling units and dynamically positioned vessels

Our courses are in accordance with SOLAS-IMO requirements and the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority - Execution of work
