Training Overview

Training Overview

What defines Leadership Success? Some may say sustainability, others profitability. Whatever your definition, leadership success ultimately hinges on productivity and gaining a competitive advantage. Productivity comes from people—not just any people, but those who are engaged and committed. Competitive advantage is driven by the capacity to innovate and respond to the ever-changing needs of global customers. Both of these outcomes require leaders who can build rapport, foster synergy, and establish two-way trust.

Engagement is central to both individual and organizational achievement. Leaders must develop strong, effective business relationships through emotional intelligence and influence in order to inspire and mobilize their teams. Relying on past reputation is not enough—today’s leaders must continuously evolve, learning from mistakes and leading with creativity and adaptability. Innovation and engagement are not just buzzwords; they are the foundation of improved productivity and long-term sustainability.

This Mini MBA on Leading People & Innovation training course is designed with two core objectives. First, it equips participants with effective people skills—offering a comprehensive set of interpersonal and intrapersonal tools to help leaders build stronger relationships and unlock the full potential of themselves and others. Second, it focuses on innovation and workplace productivity—helping participants develop the capabilities needed to drive performance and strengthen collaboration across the organization. This course offers an immersive, MBA-level experience through expert content, interactive instruction, in-depth discussions, and hands-on team exercises, preparing you to lead with greater impact and agility.

This training course will feature:

  • Develop strong, influential relationships with others
  • Creating successful teams that work productively together
  • Applying creativity and innovation to meet new challenges
  • Managing conflict and leading collaborative relationships
  • Leading a proactive & innovative culture

Modules

This training course is split into two modules:

Module I - Effective People Skills

Module II - Innovation & Productivity in the Workplace

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, you will be able to:

  • Develop winning relationships by building strong trust

  • Experienced professionals seeking a “refresher “course that will enhance their interpersonal, team and management skills
