Leadership Overview

Bring vision to life the Leadership Track

Widely considered a pioneer in Leadership studies, Warren Bennis once said, “Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.” The success of an organization relies heavily on great leaders who are able to establish a clear plan of action that an entire team can understand and execute. If you have always had an inherent ability to lead, a track in Leadership could be a good fit for you. In a leadership role, you will be responsible for conducting and supporting the assessment of organizational needs in a global, professional climate.

Solid communication skills and the ability to innovate and delegate in a professional environment set an individual up with a career in leadership.
