Leadership Challenge offered at NCC

Northampton Community College will offer The Leadership Challenge, a two-day class, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 5-6 at the

Fowler Family Southside Center, 511 E. Third St., Bethlehem.

Participants will use self-reflection coupled with stakeholder feedback to design their courses to exemplary leadership. This newly redesigned format from Kouzes and Posner uses the Leadership Practices Inventory to examine the frequency with which leaders demonstrate the most powerful behaviors in engaging colleagues and team members: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart. Within this leadership framework, participants create a plan to incorporate the practices of successful leaders into the execution of their roles in order to realize their full leadership potential.

The fee is $875. To register, go to www.northampton.edu/ cbiworkshops and scroll down to LDRWK141. For questions, email cbi@northampton.edu.
