LIA launches range of behavioural development courses
The Lighting Industry Association (The LIA)’s latest initiative is a range of behavioural development courses designed to support the next generation of transformational leaders in the lighting sector.
The industry faces a critical skills shortage and this is not just a matter of technical skills, it extends to the behavioural competencies that underpin effective leadership, which is why The LIA has developed a range of learning programmes.
At the heart of the offering are nine core behaviours, grouped into three critical areas: Inner-Strength, Values, and Relationships. Each course has been designed to align behavioural development with leadership effectiveness, for example, by enhancing agile thinking and resilience, the groundwork is laid for leaders who can navigate the evolving lighting sector.
Emotional Intelligence, another key focus, ensures smart, empathetic and emotionally attuned figureheads to guide their teams.
The courses in values emphasise strategic vision and ethical judgement – vital leadership traits for those who must make tough decisions in an industry where innovation and sustainability are paramount. The LIA also focuses on relationships, offering courses on effective networking and collaboration to ensure that leaders can build strong, cooperative teams that drive the industry forward.
The LIA’s behavioural development courses are designed with flexibility in mind. Delivered through an Online Learning Portal, these courses are accessible anywhere, tailored to fit around existing personal and professional commitments.
