SUMMARY:RATEGIES FOR PERSONAL SUCCESS (LEADERSHIP II)
DESCRIPTION:Course #\n26-LEADERSHIP-II \nCourse Name\nStrategies for Personal Success \nCourse Length\n16 Hrs \nLead Instructor(s)\nTBD \nCourse Cost\n\nIn-County: $80\nOut-of-County: $80\n\nMinimum Age\n16 years of age \nPrerequisites\n\nMinimum age of 16\nLeadership I\n\nCourse Description\nRunning an effective fire service organization\, whether career\, combination\, or volunteer\, requires leaders. Many line and administrative officers are very competent in technical areas\, but need training and skill practice in key managerial strategies to reach their full potential in leading their organization. \nThis course is targeted to company-level junior line officers\, including lieutenants\, captains\, and similar positions\, who wish to improve basic leadership skills in areas such as managing multiple roles\, creativity\, establishment of a personal power base\, and ethics. \nThe course may also be applicable to administrative officers of volunteer organizations\, including presidents\, secretaries\, treasurers\, and similar positions\, whose responsibilities require similar leadership and management skills.
