This course will explore the leadership imperatives and competencies that are necessary to act on business challenges and drive both personal and organizational success in a competitive business environment. On a personal level, it is important to create a leadership model to guide how you influence others, manage change, resolve conflict, make decisions, communicate with impact, and build partnerships to drive impact. On an organizational level, forward-thinking leaders must understand how to integrate operational initiatives into broader strategic plans while still maintaining operational excellence, ensuring talent readiness, and building inter-group alignment among other things.
