Professional Development Series 1 – Leadership Essentials

Introduction:

Leadership skills have now been universally recognized as a key ingredient – some would say the key ingredient – in personal and professional development. People often debate the differences and similarities of leadership and management. But the majority of practical people are interested primarily in what they have to do, and not whether it should be labeled ‘leadership’ or ‘management’ or both.

But how do you become such a leader? Is it possible to develop your own abilities as a leader? If leadership matters to you, this program will give you a framework for developing the essentials of being a leader.
