  Many "executive teams" fall short of their potential, resembling disjointed individuals rather than a cohesive unit. In such an environment, the potential of a team is often untapped, anchored at the baseline of mediocrity rather than soaring to the heights of excellence.
  

  Furthermore, studies reveal that a significant chunk of meeting time — between 30% to 60% — is unproductive. While meetings are crucial, many leaders struggle to conduct them effectively, leading to unresolved issues and ill-informed decisions.

  This course equips you with actionable tools and strategies to:

  • Transform disjointed groups into high-performing teams.
  • Conduct meetings that are efficient, focused, and productive.
  • Foster motivation, reduce conflicts, and establish clear communication channels.
  • Define roles, responsibilities, and achieve consensus for actionable outcomes.

  Another type of leader in demand in today's world is the one you can build teams. A team leader is difficult, much tougher than being a supervisor of a group. However, teams are worth going after since teams out perform groups. And companies that know how to develop teams and their leaders typically out perform those who don't.

  We tend to focus on the good, but we also need to understand the bad. Bad leadership has two aspects to it: the first is the person who is not effective as a leader, who has little influence or who has to rely almost exclusively on authority. A second dimension is the person who has a great deal of influence who can cause people who can engage in unethical or immoral actions.

  
  

  Module 4: Personality Traits 

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Traits are characteristics, patterns of behavior and thinking that are consist over time. They are also strong tendencies to act in a similar way across many different types of situations. For example, an introvert consistently will not say much, while the extrovert is continuously uses the voice. For leaders, traits are valuable in two ways. First, by identifying traits in another, one can predict how that person will act in the future. Secondly, it is reasonable to assume that certain traits associated with the being a leader and others associated with being a follower.
