Leadership
Energizing People for Performance
A strategic approach to empowering people
If you have direct or indirect responsibility for the performance of others — whether it’s a small group or a business unit with hundreds of employees — you know it takes more than good leadership skills to develop and motivate staff. Our expert faculty will help you discover how to create and employ people-focused strategies and plans that will ultimately maximize your organization's bottom-line results.
In a collaborative learning environment, you’ll participate in lively classroom sessions and interactive exercises, self-assessments and case studies designed to help you identify your strengths and communication style as you master the processes and tools required to motivate your team to higher levels of performance. You’ll also receive personalized coaching focused on helping you become a more effective manager and leave with a personal action plan for engaging, energizing and empowering your people.
