Discover Your Leadership Styles: Fall 2024
This session will explore the complex topic of leadership. Who do you consider a leader? Does the term “leader” apply only to those in positions of power, or others as well? What characteristics are people looking for in their leaders? Where do you stand on some leadership topics: Are there “born leaders”? Do you need charisma to be a good leader? We will explore how leadership relates to you and your life today.
