 From Boss to Leader 
 
Bad bosses. Everyone has had at least one in their working career. You do not want to be the bad boss in your work environment, the one who causes good employees to cringe when you enter the room. Or worse yet, you do not want to be the one who causes good people to leave the company. You want to be the type of manager that employees are willing to go the extra mile for. You want to nurture and inspire your team, giving them the confidence to do their jobs well. You want to provide guidance and motivation while showing integrity and modeling the behaviors you want to see in your team. You want to be more than a boss, you want to be a leader. This course will arm you with the tips and general information you need to enhance your skills and transform from a boss to a great leader.
