Leadership

Older notions of leadership, such one leader bravely leading the way while his or her minions follow, no longer serve the needs of our complex and rapidly changing society. Today, we need a more fluid concept of leadership, recognizing that leaders need to emerge in many different tiers of an organization. Designed for those who seek to expand their leadership potential, the Leadership certificate will help professionals in all walks of life learn theories and best practices of leadership, from understanding how organizations work to learning how to develop consensus among competing factions and to achieve shared goals. This program allows students to meet individualized goals, therefore, if you would like to discuss study options with an SCS adviser, call 312-503-1177 to schedule an appointment.
