Class description
This immersive and hands-on workshop is designed to elevate your leadership abilities and transform your approach to leading teams and organizations. This course is ideal for current and aspiring leaders who are eager to drive meaningful collaboration and innovation.
Through guided discussions and exercises, you will explore key questions central to effective leadership:
- What are the characteristics and best practices of effective leaders?
- How might you embrace new challenges, test yourself, and learn from setbacks?
- How can you become a more transformational leader, positioning your organization for future success?
- How will you determine and accomplish shared goals in the face of major challenges?
- How could you go beyond the status quo to cultivate a culture of innovation, strategic thinking, and inspiration?
Throughout the course, participants will explore and analyze these questions and more, to find ways to apply them in a practical way to their own leadership practice.
