Bus Strategy and Adv Leadership

Catalog description

Leaders are responsible for guiding an organization, business, division or department toward achievement of predetermined outcomes regardless of their organizations sector/industry. Leaders conceive and drive mission, purpose and strategy; mobilize stakeholders in service of that vision and purpose; and, ensure that the execution of strategy in service of the mission and purpose, is done efficiently and with minimal disruption to the organization. As the rapid pace of change, disruptive competition, and evolving workforce trends make the role of the leader more challenging, leadership must be viewed as an integrated accountability encompassing leading change; defining and maintaining a healthy organizational culture; and, developing an engaged and committed workforce. And as research has shown, effective leadership now more than ever, is a relational activity. Understanding oneself, managing oneself and relating to others are critical competencies of the 21st Century leader.
