Leadership Strand The Power of Positive Leadership AA 3730

The research is clear. Being a positive leader is not just a nice way to lead. It’s the way to lead if you want to build a great culture, unite your organization in the face of change and adversity, develop a connected and committed team and achieve superior goals. Great leaders understand that to succeed, you succeed with people—and this training shows you how. You’ll learn skills to enhance your leadership capability and leave with a practical action plan to bring out the best in yourself and your team. While leaders always need to display positive leadership, in our current situation it is crucial! For the Application/Dissemination, participants will complete a Positive Leadership Manifesto which consists of questions that tie directly to the training activities and a one-page response as to how they will apply the training to create a culture that enables instructional improvement. The training is structured so that the completion of the dissemination activity should come easily to the participant.
