Workshop on Leadership Skills
Multilateral Diplomacy
Background
Leadership is fundamental to effective and efficient diplomacy. The success of international leaders rely upon their capacities to take initiative, lead others in and through challenging circumstances, and thus maximize opportunities and strengthen the positions, objectives and achievements of parties and groups.
This workshop aims to promote full and effective participation and leadership at all levels of decision-making. This is an opportunity for participants to build essential personal leadership skills and qualities to thrive in leadership positions. Societal and economic factors might be obstacles to having ease of access to obtain these necessary skills.
This workshop aims to teach participants how read people diversity better, in order to better structure their approach to their own leadership style. Participants will learn how to use the power of broadening their perspectives and behaviors, while managing their own motivational mechanisms. The objective of this specific training is to help leaders to strengthen their impact, trust and natural authority for creating optimal results in unpredictable and diverse settings.
To make this training as engaging as possible, the workshop will be highly interactive, full of discussions, reflections and sharing of experiences, tailored to flexibly meet the participants needs and interests. This actively enhances the participants’ understanding of the topics.
