Great Leadership Series: Developing Practical Leadership Skills
Great Leadership Series: Developing Practical Leadership Skills
PLEASE NOTE: This program is currently being taught as an In Person class.
As you rise in your career, you will need multiple and often conflicting constituencies on board to follow your vision. But if you don’t lead, others will not follow. Following the premise that leadership is a skill to acquire and master, rather than a genetic inheritance, this course will provide a framework and template for your journey to becoming a great leader.
Designed for those who wish to better understand and further develop their potential and propensity to lead others, this course uses a formula for leadership success to help you identify and hone the essential self-reflective skills necessary to give form and substance to your vision. To achieve these objectives, we combine a variety of pedagogical approaches: lectures, group discussions, case analysis, videos, and self-assessments. Emphasis is placed on self-reflection and linking the concepts from the program to participants’ own objectives and development as leaders.
Upon completion of this course, participants will receive a Certificate of Achievement.
