· Strategic Leadership Development International ·

Our leadership training courses build on the simple principle that leadership is always people-centric. Leadership is the art of rallying people around a shared purpose, then motivating them and mobilizing them to achieve it.

And because people are such complex creatures, leaders never reach a point where they have finished learning their craft.

Based on that reality, this course on Advanced Leadership Skills and Principles lays the foundation for life-long learning and improvement as a leader.

It examines the role of a leader as a:

• team-builder
• motivator
• strategic thinker
• cultural change agent
• and communicator

The course assumes that participants already possess a general grasp of basic leadership principles, similar to what we cover in our training course on The Essentials of Being a Leader.

Content and materials for Advanced Leadership Skills is adapted from our proprietary LeaderTrack^® Professional Development Series for Managers and Leaders.
