    Help your new Managers and Team Leaders get the skills and knowledge they need to become truly successful leaders.

    Enrolments for this open leadership course have closed. However, if you are interested in the program, please submit an expression of interest

    Have you promoted high-performing individuals into Team Leader and Supervisor roles only to find they are 'just average' as leaders? While they have outstanding technical skills, most haven't got the leadership skills they need to succeed in their new role.

    Top performers often struggle in the transition to leadership. They find it hard to delegate, can't understand why people aren't as motivated as they are, and get frustrated when others don't perform tasks to their standard. They often avoid difficult conversations because they fear the other person's reaction and don't know how to handle it.

    To make matters worse, while many feel out of their depth, they don't want to admit this to their boss and look like a failure, which only exacerbates the problem.

    EMERGING LEADERS MATTER

    Western Sydney Business Connection and World Class Teams have partnered to bring you the Open Leadership Accelerator Program. In 6 x 4-Hour live and interactive online sessions you can equip your new managers with the five essential skills they need to transition into being genuine and successful leaders:

    1.  Fire Up Your Team
    2.  Game Changing Communicator
    3.  Elevated EQ
    4.  Change Catalyst
    5.  WorkSMART
