TRUST, MOTIVATION & RECOGNITION

This course is a core learning requirement for completing the Values Based Leadership series.

A central element for successful relationships between leaders and those they lead is trust; trust, in turn, is a key to motivation. Students will examine the role leaders play in recognizing and rewarding the trust of followers. 

Within this course, students will:

2.     Join (Wednesday, 12:00 – 12:30pm)

Live 30-minute webinars will provide the opportunity for students to hear directly from the instructor further exploring the topic.

If any student is unable to attend live, a webinar recording will be made available for later review.
