VALUABLE TOOLS FOR

THE EMERGING LEADER

Course Description

Our world has changed. Thirty years ago, companies were hiring mangers and they were hiring leaders, but they were not necessarily the same people. Today, every manager is expected to be not only an effective leader, but also a coach and a mentor. Most of us are comfortable on one side of the other in the leadership/management balance. Balancing the skills between leadership and management is the focus for all managers and leaders today.

It is important to examine the balance between what we are doing today versus what we are leading others to do. How can we identify and leverage our leadership style to be the best we can be, in order to get the best results for ourselves and our organizations?

Course Objectives:

• Distinguish between leadership and management
• Examine areas to grow self-confidence
• Describe leadership experiences and values
• Determine a future path as a successful leader
