About this course
What this course covers
Without effective leaders, no amount of money, resources, or talent will ever achieve sustainable success for any organization. Being an effective leader is incredibly challenging but can also be very rewarding. Unlike managers, who influence due to their position, power and authority, leaders are influential because people choose to follow them.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience real world examples of what to expect as a leader through group discussions, breakout activities, video and action plans to work towards their goals of becoming more effective as a leader.
Who should attend. High-potential employees or leaders identified in the succession planning process as well as managers, supervisors, HR professionals or anyone who may be considering a role as a leader.
