KEY PARTICIPANT BENEFITS

Effective leadership is vital at every level in the organization.  Strategies for Effective Leadership: Solutions to Today’s Top Leadership Challenges, The University of Tennessee’s powerful new strategic leadership offering, will focus on the most compelling challenges faced by leaders today with practical, applied strategies for identifying the most effective leadership elements and mapping out the right paths for success.  The ultimate legacy of a true leader is formed by what kind leader they are throughout their career—how they understand their own capabilities and leadership style; how they understand and influence the people that they lead; and how they impact the organizations for which they work.  Through a combination of individual assessments, classroom lecture, and interactive case analyses, participants will learn concepts and tools for success that they can immediately implement at the workplace or any place where they fulfill a leadership role.  Through the course of the program you will learn how to:

  • Improve, leverage, and manage your leadership strengths
  • Build your leadership legacy
  • Provide influence and persuasion beyond authority
  • Communicate more effectively in the business environment
  • Understand character-based leadership and how to lead through today’s ethical dilemmas
  • Make effective decisions under stress
  • Better understand your organization’s team dynamics and leadership issues
  • Recruit, develop, and retain great people
  • Understand the future of leadership
