Graduate Certificate in Management Leadership

Leadership is the ability to move others in a unified manner toward a common goal. It is not related to typical notions of authority. Rather, it is a skill that requires self-awareness, self-monitoring, social-awareness, and relationship building. Leadership is employed across all organization functions, and thus is the central source of progress and innovation in all organizations. This graduate certificate educates students in the principles of effective leadership.
