Course Focus

Leaders are not born; they are developed. This course helps managers identify and enhance the particular leadership style that matches their personal strengths. By providing participants with a range of assessment tools, including an online 360-degree evaluation, this course builds critical leadership competencies essential to career development and advancement. Linked to Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management Leadership Model, the online 360-degree evaluation is designed to identify participants' management strengths and weaknesses. Participants will create a Leadership Development Plan designed to guide their career development.

A 360-degree evaluation is a comprehensive development tool in which a cross-section of people with whom you interact and who know you well assess your leadership skills in five areas - knowledge, relationships, action, vision, and personal mastery. You will use the results of this evaluation to develop a personal leadership development plan. The evaluation must be completed by yourself and a minimum of five of your colleagues in order to produce a meaningful report. This process takes at least three weeks, and must be conducted prior to the start date of your course session. You will receive complete details after successfully registering for this course.
