Certificate of Principle-Centered Leadership

What is ineffectiveness costing you?  Conflicting priorities, unclear objectives, poor communication, a lack of trust, and everyday distractions can make it easy for teams to burn out and lose focus.

Consider the price paid in time, energy, money, and productivity when you or your team members:

• Don’t show initiative.
• Avoid having candid conversations about tough issues.
• Are unclear about the alignment between organizational priorities and your purpose, position, and work goals.
• Are routinely reacting to interpersonal conflict or office politics – “putting out fires” – instead of pursuing your mission.

Effectiveness matters! In this seven-part course, each covering one core principle-centered leadership practice (listed below), you will explore what it means to be a principle-centered leader and how to use emotional intelligence to maximize effectiveness – whether motivating yourself, your peers, or even your managers. Learn to lead while strengthening all individuals in your organization, refocusing on your mission, and improving retention. Join Coach Tracey Knight for this interactive, affirming, and immediately applicable workshop.
