Overview
There is a direct correlation between a person’s ability to self-manage and effectiveness as a leader.
In this course, learners will examine the five core values of self-management: managing authority with humility, communicating effectively, managing time with purpose, displaying and maintaining emotional health, and personal versatility. The course will include a discussion on what it means to lead, a discovery of the behaviors effective leaders exemplify, an opportunity for self-reflection and evaluation, and the challenge to create a plan for developing the leader within.
Leading Self is offered through PowerED™’s partnership with Boise State University’s Professional and Continuing Education.
