Leadership and You

Increasing Leadership Effectiveness

Course Description

Leadership takes three forms -- self leadership, leadership of individuals, and team leadership. In order to be an effective leader, one must first be effective at self-leadership. In this session, participants will begin to look at their own perspective and skills in the area of self leadership. This workshop can be used as the first workshop in a series of leadership and management workshops.

The Leadership and You workshop is very interactive and provides a variety of tools for participants to use to learn about themselves and their approach to leadership. Focus is on their leadership strengths, values, attitude, style and behavior. Through discussion, assessments, group activities and individual reflection, participants gain clarity on their leadership style. They leave the workshop with an action plan to increase their effectiveness at leading themselves and others.
