NDSU/North Dakota University System: supervising in the public sector environment
The program has received positive feedback from more than 250 NDSU employees who have completed the course.
Genuine Leadership replaces Frontline Leadership, and is designed for frontline managers and supervisors. It addresses universal leadership qualities and principles that help managers and supervisors become genuine leaders who can translate their goals into reality. Based on the most current management research, this program assists in developing people into leaders who can tackle tough business decisions, inspire others to take action and create effective work relationships within NDSU.
The cost for the course is $500. Staff should discuss funding options with their supervisor. If your department is unable to provide funding, contact your vice president’s office for possible options.
