Understanding and Growing Leadership Capacity
Leadership starts with the personal. Everyone loves to talk about their own or someone else’s “leadership style”, but the reality is if you have just one way to demonstrate leadership you will never be an effective leader. Effective leaders have a toolbox filled with styles and strategies for success. This class will take you through a series of reflective exercises to help you understand what leadership is—and what it is not—and where you see yourself as a leader—or not.
