The content is designed to enable you to use multiple ways of learning: reading, watching videos, taking notes, answering quizzes and testing your understanding. The more varied you work with the material, the better and faster you will learn
Leadership competence must be built. It is an ongoing, long-term project with a clear goal in sight. Practice, correct, try again, fail and then succeed in the end.
Competence is built by moving forward with attention and intention: "I'm here now. What do I need to learn to be able to take the next step?"
Seeing a need first and then seeking out resources to meet that need creates progression.
Results as a natural consequence of changed behavior. Changed behavior as a result of new insight, or new awareness. Watching a video does little in itself. Analyzing one's own work situation, and then putting knowledge into practice, increases competence.
In this leadership portal you will find around 50 courses on various topics. We recommend that you take a look at the different courses. Take some tests, watch some introductory videos. Go on a journey of discovery.
Once the terrain is no longer so unfamiliar, we recommend you find the courses that are most relevant to your situation - watch videos, do assignments, print graphics - and spend time putting theory into practice.
It's better to have 5 courses that change behavior than 50 that are seen and forgotten.
How should the manager understand the situation/analyze what is big/small, important/unimportant, type of challenge, good time/bad time ... In short, what we call analyzing. Many managers struggle with this and do things before they really understand the situation. It doesn't help much if they understand models and have trained in many management tools.
To the extent that the manager has a good enough understanding of the situation, many will be satisfied with their own experience and ability to deal with it, simply because they think they are getting it right. The reality is that there are huge variations in quality when it comes to how the same type of situation is handled in the same company and within the same department. Compliance with values, best practice, etc. is more or less entirely dependent on the individual, with the risks and disadvantages this entails.
In virtually all the companies we have worked with over time, the starting point has been that the main challenge is varying or lack of compliance. At Cogno, we call "compliance" "discipline" and define this as "communicating and acting in line with either vision, strategy, values, goals or plan"
Test
The purpose of a test is to give you a useful indication of how good you are at this particular skill. If you are not satisfied with the result of a test and you decide to improve on it, you create a goal and a plan and carry out the plan. Then you test again and check whether you have reached the goal, and if necessary repeat the operation until you reach the goal.
