Flexing Your Leadership Muscles | February 26, 2020
Leadership training is aimed at giving leaders new skills that are essential to success. As a leader, your success is dependent on the success of the people you’re leading. When you are in a role with a higher level of responsibility, technical skills are crucial, but they cannot stand alone. You must move beyond technical expertise to incorporate and utilize tactical leadership skills. One of the most important qualities of a leader is resiliency. The true grit of a leader is not how well they do during the good times but how well they do during the difficult times. This webinar will cover resiliency in leadership and will give you an overview of the traits needed to become more resilient. Join Ron Lynn, former Building Official for Clark County and past presiding officer of ICC for an engaging discussion on how to become a more resilient leader.
