Event Description

Leadership is a process that involves the interaction between the leader, the followers, and the situation. This advanced workshop will explore leadership from these three perspectives using both academic theories and proven workplace maxims to help explain and predict what makes a leader effective. Emphasis is placed on the central importance of ethical leadership in organizations. By the end of this workshop, you will have a better understanding of: 1. The traits, personality, and experience of successful leaders including the role of power and influence, personality, and charismatic leadership behaviors; 2. The role of context and how both situation and follower characteristics affect the process of leadership; 3. The steps you can take to grow as a leader.
