Course Description

Course begins with emotional intelligence self-identification; how beliefs, values, and principles impact leadership. Participants will complete an emotional intelligence assessment (EQi) with integration of outcomes. Strategic thinking will also be explored as a compelling way to explore the future of municipalities; going deeper than frameworks into the thought processes that allow effective strategy to form. Participants will learn by doing; using individual and group activities reflective of municipal challenges.
