Course Overview

In order to effectively lead others, managers and supervisors must themselves be individuals who display personal effectiveness. Only then can they build up the authority and character traits necessary for driving work teams forward.

Under the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Leadership & People Management Framework (LPM), a "Develop Self " course has been developed to equip leaders and managers with the skills and knowledge for self development.

Leaders must be able to demonstrate self awareness and be committed to self development to capitalize on their strengths and address their weaknesses. They need to promote organizational values and ethics by role modeling desired behaviours, and be able to persuade and positively influence others through effective communication. The "Develop Self" course equips participants with these skills to raise their competency to a WSQ level.
