Explore new soft skills learning paths
We've been loving the enthusiasm around our recent introduction of soft skills learning paths. Now, by popular demand, we're expanding the collection! This cycle, we released 8 new learning paths that help front-line engineering managers develop their leadership skills:
- Adapting Your Leadership Style to Different Personalities
- Overcoming The Five Team Dysfunctions Through Practice
- Google New Manager Training Part 1 – Laying the Foundation
- Google New Manager Training Part 2 – Applying Key Skills
- Mastering Public Speaking Through Practice
- Dare to Lead – Unlock Courageous Leadership
- Practice and Master the Coaching Habit
- Supercommunicators – Have Conversations that Matter
Each of these learning paths focuses on a unique set of competencies. Engineering managers can cultivate these skills while engaging in real-world practice conversations with our AI tutor Cosmo.
"Adapting Your Leadership Style to Different Personalities" leverages the OCEAN Big 5 Personality Model to help learners cultivate understanding for managing different personalities. Topics include utilizing team member strengths, coaching for development, and driving impactful decision-making.
"Overcoming the Five Team Dysfunctions through Practice" equips learners with the skills to anticipate and resolve common interpersonal challenges. This path focuses on building trust, fostering accountability, encouraging healthy conflict, driving commitment, and focusing on collective results.
Inspired by Google's Project Oxygen, the two "Google New Manager Training" paths help engineering managers learn key management behaviors, foster a growth mindset, and enhance emotional intelligence.
With "Mastering Public Speaking through Practice," learners can hone their presentation skills for important conferences, live Q&As, and other public speaking events. This path explores key techniques for engaging both technical and non-technical audiences.
The "Dare to Lead – Unlock Courageous Leadership" learning path is based on key ideas from the book Dare to Lead by Brené Brown. In this learning path, managers can explore the power of vulnerability, try their hand at engaging in courageous conversations, and hone their ability to lead with integrity.
"Practice and Master the Coaching Habit" takes inspiration from the Michael Bungay Stainer book The Coaching Habit. This path trains learners to incorporate coaching into everyday conversations by asking powerful questions, focusing on real challenges, and encouraging self-reliance and accountability.
Finally, "Supercommunicators – Have Conversations that Matter" allows engineering managers to apply principles discussed in Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg. This learning path explores techniques for framing meaningful conversations, uncovering underlying issues, and managing emotional dynamics.
Although these learning paths are geared toward engineering managers, anyone can use them to learn or solidify communication and leadership skills! And you can try all of these paths for free at learn.codesignal.com.
