Course Overview

In developing effective leaders in today’s rapidly changing world, developing perspective and focus is critical to a leader’s long-term success. Focus within many organizations is directed solely toward immediate organizational goals and not inclusive of longer-term individual leadership development goals. Heightened self-awareness helps leaders leverage natural strengths and helps them find ways to address developmental areas in a positive, productive way. In turn, enhanced self-awareness gained through perspective building tools helps leaders understand and adapt behaviors to rapidly changing circumstances and develop effective strategies for leading associates.
