2. Communication Skills (CS)
Without effective communication, all other leadership skills do not matter. Leaders must communicate effectively with employees to ensure work groups remain aligned with company and departmental strategies. Too often, leaders have poor listening skills and send unclear messages to their employees. Both parties frequently misunderstand each other and tend to disregard what each is trying to say.
Every organization needs to have leaders in place who can effectively use the basic skill of communication.
CS helps organizations gain competitive advantage when managers can communicate more effectively with their people, their peers, and their customers.
CS provides the knowledge first-line and mid-level managers need to drive more effective one-to-one business communication with employees and colleagues.

The High Impact Leadership Program provides managers with the tools and processes needed to meet their organization's leadership challenges. Participants explore what we call „A Culture of Engagement”.
Leaders learn how to increase employee engagement and strengthen teams, leading to tangible business results. High Impact Leadership Program is designed for managers with three to six years’ experience in leadership roles, seeking to refresh their leadership and management skills.
HIP is a hands-on, process-oriented, action learning session. The focus is on what the organization needs to do, as well as what individual leaders need to do, to create collaborative teams and a culture of engagement.
Leaders should understand that they have the responsibility for creating a culture of engagement for their own team and across their organization. Leaders need to understand employees have a choice to be engaged or not.
The leader’s role is to actively and intentionally work to create a culture of engagement.
