Leading self, leading others
Former title: Communication Skills for Managers
This program’s unique “leading self” focus is designed to help you deepen your understanding of how to be an effective leader and communicator from the inside out. Become more self-aware, as you choose to improve your emotional intelligence. Use communication as an extension of your personal, self-regulated interpersonal and leadership choices.
Note: early registration is advised for this popular program.
Online program format
The program includes facilitator-led online sessions in real time with ample breaks provided. The sessions are highly interactive, enabling you to network with peers, brainstorm ideas, engage in skill-building activities, and receive constructive feedback. You will also have access to self-directed resources (readings, videos, self-assessments etc.) that you can review at any time.
“This program has tremendous value for new and more senior managers working with diverse teams and individuals. It provides a great chance to expand your managerial toolkit and grow yourself so you can foster a high-performing team and organization.”
