Organizations must develop, operate, and sustain a basic leadership curriculum if they want to develop future leaders. Russell L. Kaiser, chief of the Freshwater & Marine Regulatory Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency, wrote this instructional guide to help you continually evaluate and strengthen your program and people. The guide will help you build a stronger strategic vision and purpose, create a coaching/mentoring culture, build a network of exceptional leaders, boost the number of promotable employees, and boost morale and productivity. By the end of the program, each participant will have a self-development plan with accountability measures that will allow for each individual to further build upon his/her professional competencies. In addition, individuals will understand how their leadership styles complement their organizations values, culture, mission, and vision. Filled with assessments, critical thinking exercises, program evaluations, and a variety of tools to promote learning, this is a must-have resource that will have a profound effect on individuals, company culture, and operational performance.
