Description
A self-actualized leader is someone who knows themselves deeply, knows their people, and is at peace with who they are as a leader. This course focuses on how strengths-based development principles can help you become a self-actualized leader by:
1) increasing your self-awareness,
2) discovering your leadership identity, and
3) tapping into your potential to become the kind of leader you want to be.
This course is especially effective for new leaders taking on management roles for the first time. However, experienced leaders who are unfamiliar with strengths-based leadership will find the content, exercises, and applications from this course enlightening and actionable.
The course consists of Video lessons and downloadable worksheets to be completed throughout the course to increase the likelihood of retention and practical application. There are also many short clips from podcast episodes where the instructor shares helpful content about strengths-based development principles and real-world examples.
There is no silver bullet for becoming a great leader. Leadership development is a journey that requires continued education, practical experience, reflection, and experimentation. Students of this course will leave feeling more confident in their own leadership style, and will have a practical tool that will accelerate their journey to becoming an exceptional leader.
*This course utilizes the CliftonStrengths report by Gallup as a fundamental part of the curriculum. The content of the course assumes that you have the "Full 34 CliftonStrengths Report," which can be purchased at the Gallup website at an additional cost if you don't have this report already.
