Aspiring Executive Leader Program (Leading Self, Teams & Organizations)

Description: Leaders are constantly challenged by the need to make difficult decisions daily and challenge the status quo. This requires courage. With strategic thinking, leaders courageously keep an eye out for new ways to contribute and bring about organizational success.

This course focuses on Leading Change through Vision, Creativity & Innovation, and Leadership Mindset. Its secondary focus is on Leading People and Developing Others. Participants will have the opportunity to take self-assessments to better understand their leadership style and how they navigate change. Finally, participants will apply their knowledge to develop strategies in their Individual Development Plans (IDPs). This course features networking and experiential learning opportunities, as well as a team project.
