Transformational Leadership

BUSA-40803

The ability to transform and adapt as leaders to meet the demand of an ever changing business environment is crucial in our current economy.  Continual growth and personal development are imperative for leaders to be successful in our complex global economy. Transformational Leadership distinguishes between the skills of management and leadership, focusing on fundamental transformation from the inside out.  This course helps individuals assess both how they show up as leaders (their “Way of Being”) and how they get work done (“Way of Doing”), which are equally important for leadership success.
