Course Description
Leadership matters. Effective leaders not only can analyze issues and make good decisions; they also know how to inspire and influence others to deliver services. In short, they know how to get ideas implemented through others. To do this requires the ability to understand one’s impact on others, how to effectively engage and challenge others and how to constructively leverage cultural differences.
This course is designed to expand the participant’s capacity to support groups and organizations to work together in productive and meaningful ways. It is designed to give people an understanding of their current level of performance and effectiveness, their strengths, and their development needs. The course relies heavily on assessment, feedback, and interactive activities. Assessments will measure leadership competencies, influencing style, emotional intelligence, communications approach, personality, and interpersonal relations. A key element of the program is designing an action plan for further personal and professional growth and development.
