Description:
Leadership is a learned behavior. Yet, many frontline employees in the transit industry step into supervisor/managerial roles with limited or inconsistent preparation. Join us for an interactive, dynamic examination of essential leadership actions, behaviors, and principles. This course provides a new supervisor/manager (or one with strictly on-the-job experience), with the skills needed to motivate, coach, lead, and communicate with their teams. Participants will learn actionable skills facilitated by practicing leadership experts, SMEs, executive coaches, and business owners.

- Learn leadership lessons from accomplished leaders in history, in their personal life, and in different industries
