Skilled Capital ACT: Certificate IV in Leadership & Management BSB40520
“Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.” - Peter Drucker
As Peter Drucker, the man often regarded as the ‘founder of modern management’ articulated so eloquently, results are the key success criteria leaders are judged by. It’s not the provision of tasks, or having decision-making conversations with other managers, or the newly pressed skirt, shirt or pair of trousers that makes a ‘leader’ a leader. What matters most, really, is the results a leader achieves.
With that in mind, how does one know if they are on the path to leadership? What are the sorts of activities an emerging leader may find themselves doing?
They are good questions. Generally, an emerging leader will assume responsibility for their own performance. They are also likely to provide leadership, guidance and support to others. They may also have some responsibility for organising and monitoring the output of teams. They may also apply solutions to a defined range of predictable and unpredictable problems, and analyse and evaluate information from a variety of sources.
So if you think that you show similar traits or undertake a range of similar activities, or desire to perform similar activities in the future, then a Certificate IV in Leadership and Management (BSB40520) may just be the course to get you to where you want to be.
Just don’t rely solely on the newly pressed skirt, shirt or pair of trousers to get you where you want to be. It may work in certain circles in Canberra, but not in the real world :)
