Leadership Skills
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
Management Consultant
Great leaders possess superb social intelligence, a zest for change, and above all, vision that allows them to set their sights on the “things” that truly merit attention. Whether are a seasoned director or manager or an aspiring leader, we have programs that will contribute to creating an efficient, effective, innovative, positive, productive and adaptive workplace culture. As we build courses that reflect current workplace realities, participants are always impressed with how relevant and engaging our programs are.
Essential Communications offers more than 15 years of experience facilitating workshops and training programs for both private and public sector organizations. Our courses provide ideas, strategies, solutions and tools that are practical and can be easily and directly implemented. As much as our courses reflect leading-edge theories, concepts and models, we include core principles, as we know that some employees may not have been exposed to some of the more basic concepts and tenets of a subject
Essential has developed, participated in and is currently involved in various “Emerging Leader”, “Rising Star” programs across agencies, ministries and municipal governments. We have a ten year track record of success with our Moving into Supervision/Management program. The emphasis of these programs is on enhancing performance development and potential and supporting upward movement for the talented people not yet in management/supervisory roles within an organization, while heightening employee engagement and retention.
