How to Choose a Leadership Course?

Here are the 4 key criteria to evaluate whether a Leadership Course is valuable or not, based on studies and research:

Choosing a Leadership Course isn't easy. A leader is someone who guides a team, sets direction, and achieves results. But who guides the leader? Often, this responsibility falls to a Leadership Course, alongside experience.

So, how can you differentiate a good course from one that isn’t effective?

1) Participant Reactions

The first thing to consider is: do participants enjoy the course? Their enthusiasm is a critical indicator of how likely they are to apply what they learn. A Leadership Course should avoid being boring, with too many slides or long hours of monotonous lectures. A course that engages and motivates is more likely to result in success.

2) Knowledge and Strategies Learned

Beyond being engaging, a good course should provide participants with concrete strategies that they can immediately apply.

Here are some essential topics that a Leadership Course should cover:

‍

• Giving and receiving feedback
• Retaining top talent
• Managing remote teams
• Time and task management
• Promoting inclusivity
• Effective communication

3) Practical Application

The main goal of a Leadership Course is to drive positive behavioral change in leaders at work. The course should not stop after teaching theoretical concepts, but should continue until participants gain practical experience. The real impact of a Leadership Course comes when learners can apply their new knowledge in their daily roles.

4) Results

Results are a key way to evaluate a course’s effectiveness in achieving organizational goals. Often, results are defined as the benefits relative to the cost of the program. By tracking results, companies can measure the tangible impact of the course, like improvements in leadership effectiveness or team performance.
