“Gettin’ It Together: Successful team and group dynamics” will be held from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 2. Recognizing that managing teams is one of a leader’s most challenging tasks, the class will include specific action strategies for dealing with varied personalities and needs to enhance group productivity and fun.
Wednesday kicks off with “Building your leadership superpowers,” a workshop that will help any level of leader but aims to be particularly relevant for those who have just been promoted or are new in a leadership role. The workshop covers five major skills that differentiate great leaders from good ones and offers management techniques. The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
The Wednesday afternoon workshop is “Situational Leadership: The world’s most effective leadership tool.” Participants will learn a model that has helped more than five million leaders in organizations around the globe.
