We just do it on a trial and error basis. This is where we as individuals, our organisations and even nations may pay a very high price for the lack of knowledge and skills in negotiations. Every negotiation has its costs, be it financial, economic, social or emotional, and all of these affects productivity and performance and of course the bottom line for any organization. It is not a matter of getting the science right. Most of us think of negotiation as a purely rational exercise. One has to get the art right, as personality, emotions and strategic moves play a large role in most negotiations and can contribute to the success or failure to reach agreement.

Leadership Skills https://www.skillfocus.com.my/leadership-skills/ Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:15:27 +0000 https://www.skillfocus.com.my/?p=2606 Read more about Leadership Skills[…]]]> The nature of leadership in the 21st Century is changing. Societies and organizations are demanding leaders who can generate trust, empower and inspire others, find innovative answers to problems and challenges and produce tangibly positive results. Increasingly, individual leaders and organizations face challenges that are dauntingly complex in scale. Helping them lead effectively in this climate requires the courage to change and a commitment to innovation. The need for strong leadership has never been greater than now and that the traditional mind-set as manager has to be drastically shifted to that of Leader. There is a need to create and establish a keen understanding of the distinctive difference between “Leadership” and “Management”. Chief among the distinctive difference between the two, is that Leadership is about behavior while Management is about process. Good leaders are followed chiefly because of integrity and patriotism, so people trust and respect them. This leadership development intervention is designed “to develop the leadership capacity within the Organization and to expose participants to new thinking in leadership. It also aims to improve knowledge, skill and ability required to encourage and nurture those they lead, improve decision-making and continuing leadership growth on a personal level”. This workshop is designed for each individual and the team to elevate, expand, apply and demonstrate a higher level and more effective quality of leadership.

This Presentation Skills Training Program will teach you how to prepare quickly, utilise the best method for delivering your message for impact, and maintain audience interest at all times.

Leadership Empowerment for Women https://www.skillfocus.com.my/leadership-empowerment-for-women/ Mon, 05 Jan 2015 20:18:16 +0000 https://www.skillfocus.com.my/?p=2611 Read more about Leadership Empowerment for Women[…]]]> Ever wondered why some women don’t reach their full potential, despite the best training, skills, support and effort? They know what to do and how to do it and they’re out there doing it — and still not achieving the desired results! Clearly there’s more to success than skill, knowledge and action! This is the domain of this empowerment course-with-a-difference. Most women know the theory of what to do in order to have success. But it’s who they are BEING as a woman in relation to their work and their attitudes and beliefs that ultimately supports or sabotages their efforts. The difficulty is that our own obstacles are largely invisible to us. The empowerment process is to show women what they currently cannot see, for example, where they are not speaking up or where they perceive a personal trait as a weakness instead of leveraging its strength. The empowerment process is aimed at taking women to their next level of understanding, dynamics and performance. It takes women on a journey of discovery to gain insight and power. This creates a new context of possibility and opportunity. It also enables them to have authentic conversations, and benefit from the feedback of other women in a safe and constructive way that creates powerful new paradigms and enhanced performance.

Teamwork, Organisational and Leadership Skills https://www.skillfocus.com.my/teamwork-organisational-and-leadership-skills/ Sat, 03 Jan 2015 20:19:06 +0000 https://www.skillfocus.com.my/?p=2613 Read more about Teamwork, Organisational and Leadership Skills[…]]]> We all live and work in groups in our personal, professional and community life. Any organisation benefits if the group of people working in it, can be transformed into self-managing teams whereby every individual knows their role, responsibility and contributes towards better organisational effectiveness, performance and productivity. Personal effectiveness of each member of the team is the foundation for team excellence.

In order to be a good team player, an individual must feel motivated to be part of the team, accept his responsibilities and play his/her role in the organization. It needs a combination of the right attitude, knowledge and skills. Mere carrying out of one’s own work within one’s own job boundaries is insufficient – one then needs to be able to nurture and manage all the relationships in the workplace, both personal and professional, within the team and company.

A team leader inspires people to do and be better – they lead by example, delegating responsibilities and duties in a way that motivates their staff. Organizations need effective people with the right skills because they are potential ‘ring masters’!

Cultural differences can result in a variety of approaches, even when English is used as the common language.

  • how people from other cultures think, behave, and approach business.
  • how they see you.
  • potential problems and equipping you with strategies to resolve them.
  • how to improve your working relationships across cultures.
  • how to use cultural diversity to advantage by harnessing different approaches and competencies.
