This program will help assess your professional role and enhance leadership skills with effective winning habits. We will cover attitude and commitment, effective problem solving, and proactive management through effective meeting planning, communication and delegation.“You don’t have to have a title to be a leader”. Leadership is about becoming the leader others feel good about following and supporting. Developing proactive high-achiever mentality will allow you to take the initiative necessary to lead through challenges, advance the action, and be viewed as a problem solver. Learn the key steps to making wishes turn into goals and learn the importance of seeing the small picture while at the same time keeping your eye on the big picture to progress.
