Capstone Leadership Series

Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills. Although your position as a manager, supervisor, lead, etc. gives you the authority to accomplish certain tasks and objectives in the organization, this power does not make you a leader...it simply makes you the boss. Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to achieve high goals, rather than simply bossing people around.

The Capstone Leadership Series begins the process of developing the necessary skills that enable people to not only understand their role as leaders at every level, but why organizations need those skills to accomplish their goals. This series is ideal for anyone who supervises a direct report including Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers, Lead Workers and Front-line Supervisors.

Sessions In This Series Include:

• Leadership: The Big Picture
• Developing Leadership Skills
• Understanding Communication
• Managing Conflict
• Financial Savvy
• Building and Leading Teams
