Leadership Training Overview
Servant leadership is the continuous endeavor to empower and serve the people you lead! Servant leaders challenge their organizations to go farther, reach higher, and Improve faster while having fun and taking care of the organization’s most vital resource - people. The idea of addressing the bottom line first by always taking care of people requires leadership skills that are well beyond the traditional “command and control” style of management. Throughout this course, you will learn and practice the most critical skills needed to become a servant and true asset to those you lead!
