leading people

Leadership is the art of getting others to follow you, therefore leadership IS about leading people. Before we can lead other people we need to know how to lead ourselves and hence our programme on Leading Self. Once we are clear on how to lead ourselves we can then start to look out how to lead others and much of what has been learned about how to lead oneself can then be applied to leading other people. A large part of leading people is being able to get others to do things for you through delegation as well as being able to motivate, engage and inspire groups of people.

The videos housed in this section of Dendrite are here to support you developing this area of leadership and through these videos, other books you will find on The Learning Partnership web site, and live training programmes you should have an appreciation of, and be able to apply day to day the following areas of Leading People.
