Leadership

Leadership

The terminology on this page reflects the language of the National Association of Colleges and Employers. 

Learn to identify and understand your own and others’ strengths. Leverage them as you coach and empower others in your organization to contribute in meaningful ways that help them to fulfill their potential and achieve common goals. Additionally, develop your organizational and delegation skills to efficiently prioritize and allocate tasks.

A person with leadership skills will:

  • Serve as a role model to others by approaching tasks with confidence and a positive attitude.
  • Seek out and leverage diverse resources and feedback from others to inform direction.
  • Motivate and inspire others by encouraging them and by building mutual trust.
  • Plan, initiate, manage, complete, and evaluate projects.
