Growing Great Leaders and Building Better Teams Through Conflict

A CT TRANSPORTATION LEADERSHIP PROGRAM ELECTIVE WORKSHOP

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a great boss? As leaders, our job is not only to be the best we can be and get work done efficiently and safely, but we also need to show the next generation how they can become great leaders. This class examines what it takes to be a great leader and offers

suggestions on building better teams, including handling certain conflict situations. Through a balanced use of directing and coaching, managers can create the right environment for future leaders to thrive and build teams that are excited about the work they do.
