Overview

Dynamic organizations need strong leaders who can act and react positively in virtually any situation and can always balance concerns for productivity against concerns for people.  They need leaders who, not necessarily by virtue of their position within the organization, can influence others to work to achieve the organization’s goals.

UMBC Training Centers has developed a program focused on the development of emerging leaders within organizations. 

An assessment of their strengths, weaknesses, and preferences, provides participants with the insight to develop a personal strategy to optimize their performance, as well as, make the most of the capabilities of others in the organization.

Through the use of a broad variety of instruction tools and techniques (discussion, group work, role-playing exercises, video, experiential exercises, and self-assessments), participants will learn how to “get the best” from others, establish strategic and well-defined goals, gain and maintain respect from peers, and overcome difficult personnel challenges.

Objectives

Upon completion of Emerging Leadership, participants will be able to:

• Increase their communications effectiveness by addressing the critical elements of communication.
• Identify personality styles and use proven techniques to increase interpersonal effectiveness and break-down barriers with others with different styles.
