The role of the nonprofit leader today and in the foreseeable future will be one of mastering fluidity, complexity and turmoil. The learning curve is steep and the organizational stakes are high. To be successful, leaders will need to develop both technical skills and leadership competencies.

This program will present an opportunity for critical analysis of leadership styles, leadership in a diverse workforce, leadership in conflict management and leadership in decision making and communication.
