Overview

Leadership and Influence - Online Training Course - Intermediate Level - CPDUK Accredited.

Welcome to our online Leadership and Influence training course. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).

They say that leaders are born, not made. While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born amid adversity. Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it. A simple example is parenting. When a child arrives, many parents discover leadership abilities they never knew existed to guide and protect their offspring.

Once you learn the techniques of authentic leadership and influence, you will be able to build the confidence it takes to take the lead. The more experience you have acting as a genuine leader, the easier it will be for you. It is never easy to take the lead, as you will need to make decisions and face challenges, but it can become natural and rewarding.

Why is this Leadership and Influence course essential?

Influence is an essential tool for successful leadership. Leadership is a process whereby one person influences a group of individuals to work toward the achievement of a common goal which they consider desirable. Thus, influence is the key to successful leadership. Getting people to follow is the sine qua non of leadership.

Leaders get things done through others. They inspire and guide others toward goal accomplishment and consistently develop and sustain cooperative working relationships. Over the past several decades, experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede, comply, or change. Their study shows that influence is governed by several principles that can be taught and applied.

Some of the principles include:

  • Credibility
  • Reciprocity
  • Attraction
  • Colleagueship
  • Commitment.

Leaders must also have the expertise to solve problems, exhibit a sense of fairness in dealing with issues and workers, be optimistic and show self-efficacy. Leaders need to sell ideas and to motivate people to support and implement decisions.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
