Hello, and welcome to Building Up Quality Leaders.
My name is Laveena Ramchandani and I'm absolutely delighted to say that I will be your instructor in this course.
Before we get started, I would like to introduce myself to you.
I have been in the software testing industry for 10 years now, and I really enjoy sharing all things testing with the community.
I am currently working as a Quality Engineering Manager and I absolutely love it.
I also speak at many conferences and I've also been part of various podcasts.
Something interesting about myself is that this course is my first ever training course that is going live, so I really hope you enjoy it and learn loads from it.
I will promise you that you will take a lot of skills with you if you're looking to become a lead, currently leading, or an experienced lead.
In this course, we will be talking about all things around building quality leaders.
The agenda for this course includes 11 chapters in which we will learn around:
- Introduction to leadership and growing from your transferable skills
- Qualities a leader should gain
- Servanthood
- Charisma
- Communication
- Coaching
- Decisiveness
- Respect
- Gratitude
- What does leadership look like in the testing world
- The next steps
You would be wondering what would you take away after this course, so here's what you will gain:
- How to coach your team
- Understand and evaluate how to impact your team members through the eight key leadership qualities from this course
- Align your team's mindset on strategy and tactics
- Build leaders in the testing space
- Overcome your imposter syndrome as a leader
- Intentionally grow your career and level up in leadership
- Understand you do not need to be a manager to lead
I once read what makes an exceptional leader and the answer I got was: respect, authenticity, communication, humility, accountability, lead by example, empathy, visionary, and care.
So why should you do this course then?
This training course will actually teach you skills you need to lead effectively, including tricky skills needed when persuading or influencing people.
Leadership training widens thinking abilities to help leaders think in innovative and creative ways.
Because I love quotes so much, I thought this one would be really interesting:
"For an organization to grow, its leaders must actively seek opportunities for self-improvement. Exceptional leaders understand the importance of continuous learning and development, not just for themselves, but for their entire team."
So, what are we waiting for? Let's get started.
