Principles of Leadership Excellence

Overview

The Principles of Leadership Excellence Certificate Series (PLX) is a comprehensive leadership development program comprised of six modules (12 full days or 24 half days). The goal of PLX is to provide opportunities to learn the skills, behaviors, and knowledge needed for effective, successful leadership.

Who Should Attend

This series benefits newly appointed supervisors, managers, and other professionals. 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.

The most effective leaders have a clear understanding of themselves, so MRA’s leadership model takes an inside-out approach. This approach focuses on:

• Reflecting and learning about yourself.
• Applying methods to your own work.
• Using your knowledge to connect with others and apply leadership principles within the context of your organization and the surrounding community.

Based on adult learning principles, the PLX series will empower you to:

• Become a better leader through interactive learning such as self-assessment, skill practice, group discussion, and application to day-to-day work.
• Create connections with fellow participants.
• Engage with our instructors who have real-world leadership experience in a variety of industries.
• Communicate well with your team and respond when challenges arise, and make changes and adjustments to keep your goals in sight.
• Build upon 18 leadership competencies:
  1. Vision and Strategy
  2. Performance Management
  3. Managing Relationships
  4. Talent Management
  5. Ethics and Integrity
  6. Communication
  7. Innovation
