Leadership Development Series

The Leadership Development Series is designed to develop the leadership skills of staff. Furthermore, it is designed for staff currently in leadership positions and staff aspiring to a leadership role in the future. This leadership development series introduces participants to the leadership attributes determined to be the core skill set for excellence in leadership. Participants will learn new leadership behaviors focused on the attributes of: communication, relationship building, coaching, role of the professional, shared ownership, accountability, and execution.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the role and characteristics of leadership in each of the leadership attributes
• Understand the behaviors that model each leadership attribute and apply these new behaviors in their work setting
• Be able to explain the linkage between the leadership attributes
• Understand their unique "behavioral style" and how that style impacts their performance
