Leadership Certification
The Leadership Track consists of eight sessions that address competencies required for high-performing leaders and their leadership systems. A leader who has demonstrated results in these leadership competencies will deliver each of these 90-minute sessions. Moving forward from good to great requires expertise in areas such as ethical behavior, a well-defined organizational culture, strategic and customer focus, and making decisions based on the right set of measures and data. Finally, these leadership competencies must be integrated into your overall leadership culture.
You may attend any or all of these workshops. If you complete six sessions, Sterling will provide you with a Sterling Leadership Certificate.
