Building Your Leadership Capacity
Check Back for 2013 Dates
Have you ever felt that you were leading but no one was following? Do you have the desire to lead but worry you may not have the qualifications?
Building Your Leadership Capacity gives you insight into who you are as a leader and how you can impact your organization. This two day workshop prepares you to inspire commitment to a shared vision, set high standards of achievement, and lead others to accept challenges and embrace change.
Using feedback from your colleagues and managers, you will develop a personal leadership plan that builds on your strengths and identifies areas for improvement. This workshop was formerly offered under the title of Emerging Leaders.
