Becoming an effective leader involves acquiring and honing a particular set of skills. Successful managers understand leadership components and how to combine them in just the right way, and they practice what they’ve learned.
The goal of the Principles of Leadership Excellence Certificate Series (PLX) is to provide you with opportunities to learn the skills, behaviors, and knowledge needed for effective, successful leadership.
Knowing that the most effective leaders have a clear understanding of themselves, our leadership model takes an inside-out approach. You will reflect and learn about yourself, learn to apply methods to your own work and use your knowledge to connect with others and apply leadership principles within the context of your organization and the surrounding community.
In this six module certificate series, you build upon 18 leadership competencies. You learn how to communicate well with your team and respond when challenges arise. And you learn to make changes and adjustments so you don’t lose sight of your goals.
MRA encourages you to take the series in sequence because skill sets in each session build upon what is learned in the previous session.
This certificate benefits newly appointed supervisors, managers, and other professionals. Both experienced supervisors who have not had formal management training, as well as staff with management potential who do not yet hold a leadership or management role, find this series invaluable.
