Waar vindt de incompany training Leidinggeven Basis plaats?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
Wat kost Leidinggeven Basis incompany?
You receive a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. By way of comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs € 1300,- excl. VAT per participant.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.
How many days does the Leadership Basics course last?
The Leadership Basics course lasts two days and is taught in a classroom setting in a small group of no more than 10 participants. You can extend the course with an advanced module on Situational Leadership, with an advanced module on Coaching Leadership, or take the complete package.
Who is the Leadership Basics course suitable for?
The Leadership Basics course is intended for new managers, team leaders and professionals who are responsible for managing others. No specific prior knowledge is required. Enthusiasm and the motivation to develop as a manager are enough. Whether you have just started leading your first team or have been managing for longer and want to strengthen your foundation: this course gives you something to hold on to in your day-to-day role.
Which topics are covered in the Leadership Basics course?
In the Leadership Basics course you work on five core themes: your role and positioning as a manager, communication and expectations, managing behaviour and results, feedback and difficult conversations, and motivating, delegating and encouraging ownership. You practise with recognisable real-life situations and go home with a personal action plan.
Is prior knowledge required for the Leadership Basics course?
No, no specific prior knowledge is required for the Leadership Basics course. Enthusiasm and the motivation to develop as a manager are enough. The course is suitable for new managers, team leaders and professionals who have just taken on responsibility for managing others. You work on your role, communication and conversation skills from the ground up, with exercises that match your own situation at work.
What is the teaching method of the Leadership Basics course?
The Leadership Basics course is taught in a classroom setting in a small group of up to 10 participants. You start with an intake in which you set your own learning objectives. During the course you work practically and experientially: you practise with situations from your own working environment, receive immediate feedback and go home with a personal action plan and concrete tools.
Can I extend the Leadership Basics course with advanced days?
Yes, the Leadership Basics course can be extended with in-depth days. You can opt for a variant with Situational Leadership, a variant with Coaching Leadership, or the Leadership Comprehensive course, which includes all the components. This way you build your learning path in the direction that suits your role and development.
How does this course differ from an online course or a book about leadership?
A book or online course gives you knowledge about leadership, but no practice with your own day-to-day situations. In the Leadership Basics course you work in a classroom setting in a group of no more than 10 participants. You practise with real conversations from your work: addressing behaviour, giving feedback, dealing with resistance. You receive direct feedback from the trainer and your fellow participants. Beforehand, you set your own learning objectives in an intake. You go home with a personal action plan, not just with theory. Self-study works if you mainly want to acquire knowledge. Classroom training works better if you want to change behaviour, because behaviour changes through practice and being held up a mirror, not through reading.
How do I know whether Leadership Basics is enough, or whether I should go straight for Leadership Extended?
Leadership Basics focuses on the fundamentals: your role and positioning, communication, managing behaviour, feedback, motivating and delegating. That is enough if you have just started managing or want to sharpen up your foundation. Leadership Extended adds two advanced modules: Situational Leadership and Coaching Leadership. Those modules are relevant if you already manage for results and want to learn to switch between styles for each member of staff, or if you want to work more from a coaching role. In doubt? Start with Leadership Basics. You can still take individual advanced days later. Anyone who knows in advance that coaching and style flexibility are their biggest challenge will save time by opting for Leadership Extended straight away.
