Course overview
What Is Practical Everyday Leadership?
Practical everyday leadership is the capacity to take ownership and help others perform, whatever your job title, in the office, the community or at home. Participants work on leveraging their strengths, goal setting, root-cause problem-solving, timely decisions, persuasive speaking, active listening, motivating a team and building consensus in conflict, using techniques they can try the following day.
Workshops, case studies, role-plays and brief simulations, with feedback from facilitators, let participants test decisions and conversations against the pressures that leaders in Vietnam deal with daily.
Built for Vietnam’s fast-paced, competitive business landscape, the course suits CEOs, middle managers, supervisors, entrepreneurs and team leaders who want practical leadership skills, from motivating a team to deciding quickly under pressure, that they can apply in their organisations at once.
Why it matters
Why Everyday Leadership Matters in Vietnam
Organisations in Vietnam compete in a fast-paced business landscape where leaders often work under tight time pressure. Those who motivate teams, resolve conflict and make timely decisions help drive performance and growth.
Leadership is needed everywhere
Competitive markets reward organisations where people at every level are ready to lead.
Small skills, big effects
Setting one clear priority or easing tension early can lift a whole team’s performance.
Problems need owners
Difficulties only get resolved when someone digs into their root causes and acts.
Change starts locally
People who lead in their own corner of work or life help Vietnam move forward.
The Knowles leadership approach

The course allowed me to identify the area where errors could occur and the various steps to identify and reduce the errors. Case studies were also provided to give a real-life experience instead of theoretical lessons.
The most useful aspects were learning about active listening, empathy, and adopting a growth mindset. The case studies and brainstorming sessions provided practical ideas for managing remote and hybrid teams, building rapport, and leading effectively.
