Building Next-Gen Leadership Series
Human Resources is introducing a new limited series, Building Next-Gen Leadership, for any employee across the institution who aspires to lead, regardless of position or title. Participants will learn leadership concepts and develop community, especially around the university's Next-Gen K-State strategic plan. This series is the first phase of leadership development efforts.
Upcoming workshop
Courage: Leading Starts With You
Whether change happens on a big scale or a small scale, the effort has to start somewhere. This ultimately takes courage. Someone has to take the first step. Ask the first question. Offer an idea. In this workshop, we will explore practical steps toward achieving the change you desire, in the places you have the most influence, no matter what role, position or title you hold.
