LEADERSHIP: Leadership can take place in many venues and on many levels - leading oneself, leading by example, leading a family, leading a project or group, leading a business, or leading a church. In this course you learn how to partner with both God and others so that you might grow in becoming a leader whom others want to follow. The course explores how to build teams, how to avoid self-derailment, how to adapt and keep moving strategically toward goals, and how to enjoy the journey with others despite the costs of change and the challenge of obstacles encountered along the way. [NOTE: this course used to be combined with Church Administration. They are now two separate paths]
