Being a leader is not just about managing others. It’s also about being a positive role model with others, taking personal responsibility for your actions, and taking the lead to increase your contribution to the organization. Personal leadership is also about communicating well with others, being able to manage conflict when it arises, and inspiring others to be their best. You certainly don’t have to have direct employees to do any of that.

When we make the effort to build our personal leadership skills, we increase our contribution to the organization, are seen as valuable players, and create future opportunities for our career. The Building Your Leadership Skills course will help you strengthen your leadership skills for whatever role you may have, now as well as in the future.

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Select the actions you will take to lead the organization’s vision and strategy

• Use a process for managing conflict with others

• Identify someone who is good at conflict management who you can learn from

• Evaluate how inspiring your words and actions are to others

• Become a powerful and inspirational role model to others
