New and Emerging Leaders - Professional Development Workshops

Description

General Descriptions
One of the most influential roles within an organization is that of a manager. Managers make decisions every day that affect their entire organization and ensure a commitment to honesty, equality, and workplace ethics. They direct the work of organizations' most valuable resources - their people. But who supports the manager? 

This series of courses outlines the role of an ethical manager in the workplace. It develops the skills to motivate, empower, and grow employees in a culture of respect.  We look at management from a perspective that recognizes WHAT you do is as important as HOW you do it. Reputation counts – yours and your organizations. Join us to develop the skills of ethical management.
