CarriersEdge Releases Course on Effective Leadership Styles
NEWMARKET, Ontario, August 30, 2024 - CarriersEdge, a leading provider of online driver training for the trucking industry, has added a new training course titled “Leadership Styles” designed to help fleet managers and supervisors evaluate and improve their leadership and teamwork skills.
The new course builds on CarriersEdge’s “Emotional Intelligence” course – the first CarriersEdge leadership module released in 2023 – by looking specifically at the kinds of skills that go into effective leadership and the different kinds of leadership styles a person can use.
With constant changes in technology and an industry that is becoming more diverse, the workplace is rapidly changing. “Leadership Styles” is intended for anyone looking to develop their leadership skills, whether they are thinking of advancing into a leadership position or are in one already. According to Jane Jazrawy, CarriersEdge CEO, an effective leader in today’s world is adaptable, collaborative, and creates relationships with employees on trust and empathy.
“There is no one-size-fits-all approach to leadership,” said Jazrawy. “The best leaders blend a variety of leadership styles and are emotionally aware of situations to better understand their employee's needs and how they can help aid in their success. This course is all about educating leaders of different leadership styles, when to use them, and how to maximize the potential of their team members.”
The interactive module describes how to take an intelligent approach to leadership by understanding six leadership styles and how to develop each of the styles and effectively use them. After completing the course, users will be able to:
- Explain the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership
- Describe the six emotionally intelligent leadership styles and considerations for using them
- List tools to improve self-awareness
- Describe strategies to develop leadership styles
“Leadership Styles” is now available to customers at no extra charge, as part of the CarriersEdge subscription service. There are nearly 200 titles in the CarriersEdge monthly subscription package, with new and updated titles added regularly. Courses are offered as full-length orientation, short refresher and remedial titles, and as standalone knowledge tests.
