Course Overview

Effective management requires strong leadership—and the keys to strong leadership stretch beyond just business sense. The best leaders value people first, but leading teams and organizations to reach goals and achieve success requires more than an orientation toward people. You must inspire, motivate and persuade others to acquire the strategic vision of the organization and work together in pursuit of that mission.

Though some leadership skills are innate, others are learned. That’s why Lipscomb University offers a Strategic Leadership program for aspiring leaders who want to meet business objectives through sound management and decision making. At Lipscomb, you’ll grow your gift for shepherding others and develop mastery of other competencies crucial to successful leaders, including communication, drive and energy, influence, organization and planning, problem solving and decision making, and relationship building. Learn to direct people, organizations and industries toward better outcomes and brighter futures. A people-first approach to leadership will set you apart from your colleagues and create an organizational culture that fosters success. With the confidence to handle any business challenge that comes your way and lead others around you to achieve their goals, you’ll maximize your potential and position yourself to thrive in management.
