Good leadership helps everyone understand what the impact goal is, makes sure they have what they need to do their job, provides encouragement, and monitors progress as the team moves forward.
Resulted from polling over 600 non-profit organizations on their professional development needs, and tailored to fit a leadership development gap in the non-profit sector, Goodman Group’s Non-Profit Leadership Development program provides you with the tools and information you need to successfully lead teams and organizations.
“I personally believe leaders are made not born, the great insights that this program brought encouraged me to manage and influence my team and I have seen my organization take a new direction with all the great skills learned from the program.”
