Leadership is the activity of leading, communicating with and inspiring people and teams to achieve organizational goals.
Develop strong leadership skills in strategic thinking, action planning, communication and active listening, emotional intelligence, interpersonal effectiveness, team leadership, problem solving, decision making and leading change. Our courses are designed for those who want to become a leader, are transitioning into a new leadership role, or want to build their skills and strengths as an effective leader.
This lean, focused program delivers a flexible, interactive, performance-based approach to leadership development. Through the use of self-assessments, guided learning activities and real world practice, students develop their leadership and management skills at multiple levels. Use practical tools, strategies and best practices as you gain confidence in managing the challenges of leadership. Learn from experienced, successful leaders with valuable knowledge across a range of industries.
