President’s Volunteer Service Award: Certifying Organization
Leader of the Pack: Leadership/New Manager Interpersonal Communication Skills (Basic leadership and interpersonal communication skills)
Leading and managing projects is one thing; leading and managing people is another. Moving from an outstanding worker or employee into a management or supervisory role requires letting go of the everyday hands-on skills that got you there. It also requires that you implement a new set of leadership skills. Dealing with people - as a leader or as a manager - involves human relations, coaching, decision making, and communications skills. These are learned skills that need practice. Examine the skills that enable strong, effective leadership and sound people-management.
This program has a volunteer leadership component if for a non-profit or other volunteer-led organization.
