Leading organizational change can be a challenge for anyone.

Such dynamic environments call for skilled, strong leaders to guide the way and develop successful, functional teams.

This course will also explore team development through facilitation and collaboration. Assess your personal style of leadership by learning more about strengths and areas of improvement. This course will also focus on practical strategic thinking practices, leadership theories and leadership style development, and how leadership style can be used to think and act strategically.
