Successfully navigating the complexities of people leadership is more important than ever—the speed of change and shifting workforce expectations make great leadership an organizational requirement, not a luxury. The 21st Century Leadership program is designed to equip current and aspiring leaders with the understanding, skills, and tools needed to lead strategically. You will learn to build a team or organization that is goal focused and vision driven, while creating an environment for people to thrive, grow, and contribute. Organized as a seven-course series, the 21st Century Leadership micro-credentialing program focuses on the development of critical capabilities needed to grow your impact as a leader.
Upon completion of the workshop series, participants will engage in a series of coaching sessions designed to create a leadership development plan specific to their challenges and opportunities. Courses can be taken individually or as a series leading to credentialing as a 21st Century Leader through the East Carolina University College of Business.
The Workshop format places significant emphasis on the participant’s strategic application of course material to their own leadership responsibilities, including the development of specific action plans for implementation. Topics covered include:
