Good leadership includes a comprehensive range of management tools consisting of both direct and indirect measures. Managers can use the following tools to exert a direct influence on an employee's experience and behavior:

• Recognition and praise
• Feedback and criticism
• Staff appraisals
• Target agreements
• Planning a career together
• Building trust
• Expectation management
• Task assignment
• Work organization
• Participation in decisions

All these areas are discussed in a good leadership seminar. Leadership skills can be acquired through a leadership seminar.

In a management seminar on leadership, you usually learn the following things:

• Leadership and strategy
