You may manage people but are you truly leading? Leadership is more than telling people what to do—it’s knowing how to inspire, engage and help others develop into their best selves.

Great for emerging leaders with limited management experience and experienced managers interested in honing their skills, this course develops your skills in three essential areas: emotional intelligence, communication and trust. You’ll master the fundamentals of leadership, discover your unique value as a leader and learn best practices you can apply in the workplace and beyond.


In this course, you'll learn how to do the following:

  • Clarify and refine your personal vision for leadership.
  • Discover how your communication style and behavior can impact your environment.
  • Apply effective approaches to developing relationships and increase your influence with others.
  • Evaluate your strengths and opportunities and develop a personalized action plan to help you realize your leadership potential.
