MCSA presents:
It's Your Ship! - Leadership
Navigating the Waters of Your Communications Center
December 3 at
The International in Bolton
0830 am to 4:30 pm
This all new PSTC class focuses on leadership issues for all levels of emergency communications centers. The class helps students learn the key traits of a successful leader and ways to ensure that you can achieve a level of leadership that co-workers will appreciate and respect. The perfect student for this course is a current lead, supervisor, manager, director, trainer, training manager or line level staff member that strives to be a future leader.
Existing “leaders” are strongly encouraged to attend so they can evaluate their best traits and set goal to be more effective. Sadly, many agencies promote or hire Supervisors but never guide or train them to be true leaders. That sets the scene for the replication of bad habits, no supervisory skill sets and a loss of respect from the “troops”.
This class gets your team in the mindset of leadership with tools that can be used immediately.
Topics included in this class are:
- Building a foundation of trust
