at a Time

Becoming a new leader can be overwhelming without the proper training.

With the support of an expert leadership coach, learners explore the practical application of core leadership skills and come to understand their role as a leader.

Leadership Essentials is part of GP Strategies’ Digital Leadership Suite.

As a working manager, I don’t often get the time to read and reflect … I like the variety of information, assessment, reflection, sharing, quizzes … documents we can dowload, and interactive fun. Eager to see what’s in store for next week!
