Overview

Our leaders today face a fast-paced, demanding, and continually changing workplace. Businesses, organizations, and non-profits need leaders who have a vision, the ability to lead as well as the ability to influence others towards a common goal. This two-day course is designed for supervisors and managers to take a step back from their busy schedules and understand that who they are as a leader affects how they lead. The results teams achieve are influenced by how the leader connects with the group and interprets the environment in which they are leading.
