Out side training gives you an opportunity to get away from day-to-day activities, and provides a fresh perspective.

Do not wait to be asked-assess your streangth and weaknesses and put yourself forward for courses that match your

needs.

Use any time spent coaching your staff to discover their needs, what motivates them, and how they respond to your leadership styl. Develop skills in other people to enable  you to delegate some of your tasks, leaving more time available for you to spend on activities that will improve your own skills as a  leader.
