"“We all need people who will give us feedback. That's how we improve.” 

-Bill Gates 

Feedback is an essential part of any manager-employee relationship. However, a lot of managers are reluctant giving corrective feedback. They either fear offending the employees or damaging the good rapport built over a course of time. But feedback is essential and beneficial for the manager, the employee, and the organization as a whole. So, how do you give negative feedback? This lesson will introduce you to the technique of sharing negative feedback using the sandwich feedback approach.

• Provide sandwich feedback 

• Assess the issues to be considered

By definition, dynamic teams are composed of self-directed, goal-focused individuals, each with specific expertise and skills, who work together to create innovative solutions that consistently result in superior outcomes. But truly dynamic teams don’t just happen. They are the result of purposeful selection, a motivating vision, and strong leadership. In this course, you will learn how to identify potential team members, how much supervision and oversight to provide, and how best to motivate your people.

• Build a dynamic team 

• Guide the team to focus on work 

• Beware of group thinking 

• Lead the dynamic team

Kotter's 8-Step Change Model was created by Harvard University Professor, John Kotter. He perceived the change process as having 8 essential steps.

The 8 Essential Steps in this model are:

Create a sense of urgency for change

Build a coalition for change Form a vision for change 

Communicate the vision for change 

Remove barriers to change 

Generate quick wins for the change 

Stay persistent with the change 

Make the change permanent

• Describe Kotter’s 8-step change model 

• Explain what leaders can do to make the change successful

With COVID-19 meaning that home working is no longer an option but a necessity for many, what are the potential side effects on our health and work performance. Employers may need to provide additional training to ensure appropriate supervision and work behaviours. These include remote technology, communication skills development, time management and ergonomics.

Effective remote working requires greater self-control and discipline to avoid the boundaries between work and personal life becoming blurred. Research has shown that, in general, homeworkers tend to work longer than office workers and this increases with the use of technology. Homeworkers do benefit from greater working time autonomy, but how effectively this is applied depends on the discipline of the individual.

The ‘Effective Remote Working’ bundle includes 3 months access to 10 online courses and over 7 hours of eLearning.

The old saying, greater the risk, greater the rewards has probably rung true for many of us in different stages and areas of life. However, still most people tend to avoid risks when possible, because they think that inaction is often safer than action. The belief is that taking a risk is “exposing oneself to the possibility of loss or injury in the hopes of achieving a gain or reward.” But the legendary boxer Muhammed Ali stated “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” In this course, you will learn to mitigate risks and start taking calculated risks.

Consistent business analysis is critical to a company’s short- and long-term success. Because the SWOT framework is such a simple, flexible, and powerful tool, organizations can use it to examine, plan, and implement business decisions and plans that range from incremental to comprehensive. By gathering a range of input from inside and outside the organization, your analysis will provide substantial, relevant, and objective data to guide your decision-making. Whether you’re planning new corporate-wide strategic goals or reviewing departmental processes, a well-executed SWOT analysis will enable you to focus on your strengths, diminish threats, and take advantage of identified business and market opportunities as you move forward.

• Describe SWOT Analysis   

• Conduct a SWOT Analysis

The balance sheet is one of several financial reports that organizations use for monitoring and planning purposes. It is a snapshot of a company’s financials on a specific date. All balance sheets include three components: assets, liabilities, and owner’s (or shareholder’s) equity. The report shows the resources an organization owns (assets), how much money it owes (liabilities), and how much equity the owners (or shareholders) have after liabilities are subtracted from the assets. This is also called the net worth of the company. Some of the benefits of being able to read and understand a balance sheet include making better management decisions, identifying potential financial issues before they cause bigger problems, and improving your company’s organizational efficiency.

• Record the assets of a company    

• Define liabilities    

• Explain owner’s equity
