Description

Strong leadership not only moves people forward, but makes them more resilient and better able to withstand and recover from the trauma and trials of service.  This course, with practical exercises, will teach the core principles of resilient leadership needed of every leader – from new recruit to chief. Leadership is not a rank, it is the ability to take people somewhere.  We break down this ability into The Character of Leadership, The Vision of Leadership, and The Accountability of Leadership.  Organizations that are built on a foundation of leadership have better esprit de corps, higher performance, clearer goals and communication, and are more resilient to the challenges in an increasingly dynamic world.  Students will learn from real life examples, practical application, and lessons from historically great leaders and teachers.
