Leadership isn’t defined by the job title. It’s about developing the perspective, skills, and personal style to get results that matter. Individual contributors get the work done as they lead project teams, serve as key role models in the organization, and are influential team members. Being an effective leader is crucial to one’s personal success and the success of the organization. The Leadership Fundamentals program was developed to introduce the essentials of effective leadership for greater success, faster.
Our Leadership Fundamentals program will equip learners with the fundamental knowledge that will help learn the craft and set them off on their leadership development journey with confidence that they have taken the best first steps in leadership. The program is designed to create an open and immersive environment in which delegates are given the tools they need to lead with confidence and independence. In a rapidly changing global economy, it has never been more important for businesses to know that their leaders have the skills and tools required to lead effectively and with confidence to get the best results from their team/s.
Leadership Fundamentals will equip learners with the fundamental knowledge to be effective leaders and set them off on their leadership development journey with confidence. The participants will be challenged to look inward and reflect on their behaviours and how they can positively and negatively impact others. They will understand the need for using different styles of leadership, develop strategies to get ‘buy in’ from their team/s and learn how to better manage performance.

There are three main course delivery modes at Southern Star Institute: Face-To-Face (F2F), Hybrid and Virtual. A participant can choose the most convenient mode for his training. However, the course structure and fees would vary for each mode. The educational content, however, would be the same but customizations would be made to suit the delivery needs.
Face-to-Face (F2F) Course Delivery
A Face-to-Face (F2F) course is delivered in a classroom setting. This means that scheduled normative hours take place in the physical classroom. F2F classroom interaction takes the form of in-person, real-time interaction between the trainer/facilitator and the participants. A F2F course would be taught for the duration specified for the respective course over a number of days or day as required. The sessions would be divided in the best possible way to effectively structure the course and convey key information to the participants.
Hybrid Course Delivery
A hybrid (or blended) course combines in-class instruction and activities with flexible, guided online learning in a virtual environment. Guided online activities in hybrid courses engage participants with independent, active learning that is supported, performed or submitted via our course learning management process. A hybrid course allows for many possible combinations of in-class and online instruction, interaction and digital learning activities, as well as a wide variety of deliverables.
Virtual Course Delivery
A fully online course is delivered virtually. This means that scheduled normative hours take place outside of a physical classroom. Fully online courses provide participants with flexibility to personalize their schedules as the course teaching and learning activities occur online through the use of our learning management process. Participants complete training, course requirements and collaborate on topics using a wide range of educational technologies and digital learning activities.
