Course id: 131

Duration: 3 days/ 4 H per day

introduction

They say that leaders are born, not made.  While it is true that some people are born leaders, some leaders are born in the midst of adversity.  Often, simple people who have never had a leadership role will stand up and take the lead when a situation they care about requires it.

Leadership is not telling others what to do.  Leadership is inspiring others to do what needs to be done
