"Leadership is a choice, not a position." -Stephen Covey

Leadership is a key skill not only for managers but also those who are formally not in charge. Organizations and communities need people who will lead and influence others even if it is only in certain situations.

Unfortunately, many people "Hold Back" because they lack the skills and training to emerge as leaders or to be a more effective leader. The result is that organizations are not as effective as they could be, teams are not as effective, and individuals negatively impact their career prospects. The world needs great leaders no matter what your title is.

THIS COURSE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO BE A GREAT LEADER EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE TO RALLY OTHERS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH THE EXTRA BENEFIT OF BEING GREAT FOR YOUR CAREER!

In this course you will learn:

Key best practices and principles of leadership.
How to rally a team to great visions and goals.

How to get support from others such as management and executive sponsors.
Next steps and how to put what you have learned into action.
