Leadership in challenging situations

This module is designed to provide Clerks, Council Officers and Councillors with an introduction to the skills needed to be effective leaders in the different roles we have, and the different situations we face, in our local councils.

We are going to explore the ways in which all of us have leadership roles in our councils, whether we're aware of it or not.

We will consider a range of different leadership styles and explore when different leadership styles and approaches can be effective in different situations.

We will explore the related concepts of active listening and giving effective feedback, which are two core skills required to be an effective leader.

We will also consider the importance of effective teamwork how to get the most out of people you work and engage with across the council.

When you finish the course, you will be asked to demonstrate your understanding of some of the key points by completing a short assessment.

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Understand what qualities make for both effective and ineffective leadership
• Explore the skills required for effective leadership in each of our roles
• Consider the types of situations within our local councils that require us to make use of leadership skills
• Develop a basic understanding of leadership styles and approaches
• Understand how to approach difficult situations
• How to get more positive outcomes from people we work and engage with
