PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP IN DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS

Principles of Leadership in Dynamic Environments (Online): The PLDE course is designed for people that work in high risk environments.  As required we are often called upon to make clean, precise decisions that impact the lives of those around us.  In general, most who have earned a leadership position excel in these aspects, but we often loose sight of the significant portions of our time that is spent outside these high stress/high risk situations.  We fail to recognize that the responsibilities of a leader is a twenty-four hour a day job that requires us to be dynamic, thoughtful, progressive and yes, even understanding at times.

This course combines the best leadership principles and practices available today and is taught by individuals that have achieved enormous successes as leaders as well as experienced catastrophic failures.  It is the combination of real world, practical experience and years of personal study and growth that enable SP Global to provide this course that will significantly impact that way you think, act and view your role as a leader.

The course is four weeks in length taught online.  Weekly podcasts and additional materials will be made available along with message forums and personal growth assignments.  This course will challenge you and most of all, change you.
