In this presentation, Walter V. Murray of Leadership Solutions Training, LLC defines leadership training as any tool, resource, learning, or skill set that improves the strategic allocation of relationships and resources to meet predetermined goals. The program begins with a leadership skill set inventory to tailor a curriculum to individual and team needs. The training is delivered through an immersive, interactive format that includes video lectures, reading materials, assessments, tools, and a learning community for peer interaction. Six core competency areas are covered: (1) Understanding the Leadership Ecosystem, (2) The Three Demands of Leadership, (3) Team Building, (4) Dealing with Conflict and Leading Through Disagreement, (5) Self‑Leadership, and (6) Strategic Planning. These competencies are presented as the foundational bedrock for effective leadership, management, and business ownership, and the presenter claims they distinguish the top 3% of leaders who outperform competition.

The definition that we subscribe to here at Leadership Solutions Training, LLC is anything, any tool, resource, learning, or skill set that makes us better at strategically allocating relationships and resources to achieve predetermined goals and objectives. What does our leadership training program include? Leadership Training Solutions, LLC. So what exactly do we include? So based on our extensive experience working with C-level execs, working with managers, supervisors in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, Working with leaders in just a vast array of industries and marketplaces, we have identified some of the key core areas that leaders need to have basic leadership competencies and skill sets, right? These are the foundational skill sets, competencies, proficiencies. So the first thing that we do that's included as part of our leadership training is we do a leadership skill set inventory or assessment. This helps you craft your curriculum around your specific areas of need, areas where you believe you need some additional training to upskill yourself, upskill your team. We do this assessment, leadership skill assessment, so that you can have an idea of those areas you need to focus on first and foremost. Once we've done that, we cover 6 main areas, each one presented in an interactive, immersive training program where you get to not only view the content in our video lectures, we have reading material with the lectures, we have assessments and tools, you have a learning community where you get to interact with other learners and leaders and sort of share best practices and worst practices too, yeah, with other leaders so that you grow as a leader by your interaction with other leaders. So our training programs, they're very immersive. So the 6 core competency areas that we cover, and I'm going to list them, these are in no particular order, but I'm going to list them and I'm going to circle back and give you a brief synopsis on each one. So the first core competency is we look at the leadership ecosystem, understanding your leadership ecosystem. Then we focus on the 3 demands of leadership. Leadership is demanding, but what are the top 3 demands that a leader must meet to be an effective leader? We have a training program entitled The 3 Demands of Leadership. I'll circle back and tell you what those are in a minute. Then we look at team building. Then we look at dealing with conflict, leading through disagreement. The 5th core competency is self-leadership. And the 6th leadership competency that we include in our training program is strategic planning. So those are the 6 core leadership competencies that we have included or built into our leadership development training. We believe that These core competencies are the bedrock for successful leadership, management, and business ownership. In our studies, in our research, in our working hands-on with leaders and managers, thousands of leaders and managers, we have found that these 6 elements, these 6 skill sets, leadership competencies, are what really makes you that top 3% leader puts you at the top of your game, helps you to outcompete the competition when it comes to leadership and management.
