DEVELOP YOUR LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL AS A FIRST TIME MANAGER

We assume that a high-performance employee can immediately translate to a high-performance leader. The fact is that the skill set, and mind set are completely different, and the transition can be hard.

The Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC and Dale Carnegie Training are teaming up to bring you, our membership, an exclusive 10-week experience to develop high-performance leaders! Together, we’ll set our teams in motion and help our organizations reach new heights, powered by the unique talents of our best asset – our employees.

This program is specifically designed to address challenges that new leaders face, to help change our mindset, and to give us confidence with proven strategies and tools that are used by the most successful leaders. By the end of this course participants will increase self-awareness; convey honesty, integrity and accountability; use authority and influence appropriately; and model effective interpersonal communication.
