2 Course Overview One of the key factors for great leadership in business today is our ability to think critically, to solve problems and to make sound business decisions. However, to do so effectively requires more than just skill and enterprise. First, we must be able to distinguish between symptoms and problems. We must then be able to exercise the discipline, especially under time or other constraints, to follow a process which will enable us to make the best decision possible to meet the needs posed by the problem or situation facing us. At the same time, as we move up the ladder, we must demonstrate high capability in all the leadership skills and competencies required to develop and grow our business. We must be able to build talent and empower our human capital while at the same time demonstrating a high degree of emotionally intelligent leadership and an ability to adapt our leadership style and respond appropriately as each business or staffing situation demands.
