Essentials of Effective Leadership Part 1 Fall 2025
Is Leadership Truly Effective If It Doesn’t Deliver Results?
It’s a simple question—with a clear answer. Yet, the solution to underperforming leadership is just as clear: develop your managers into confident, communicative, and accountable leaders.
Essentials of Effective Leadership Part 1 is a five-week, high-impact course designed to move your managers beyond surface-level influence. Participants will gain the skills to lead decisively, communicate with intention, and drive action—no matter the complexity of the challenge.
Through dynamic learning and real-world application, attendees will learn to:
- Communicate actively and with purpose to elevate engagement
- Articulate the “why” behind decisions to inspire alignment
- Sell their ideas and build buy-in across teams and departments
- Lead confidently across organizational boundaries
- Instill accountability to fuel ownership and performance
Shelby Hafer of Hafer Petroleum shares how the program shifted her leadership approach:
“I’ve learned to be more present in listening and conversation. In today’s world of constant distraction, this skill is often overlooked—but it’s essential. Being truly present can transform engagement and build trust.”
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for professionals who are serious about their leadership growth. If you’re ready to sharpen your communication, elevate your decision-making, and become a more accountable, strategic leader—this program is for you.
