Emerging Leaders: Foundations For Success
Emerging Leaders: Foundations For Success
Peggy McBee | 2024
Abstract
The world is an ever-changing arena where individuals seek to find their niche and footing that will prove successful in their lives. Significant changes have occurred over the last few decades, causing a faster shift in what works, what drives success, and examples to follow than current generations have seen in the past. The allure of gig work, frequent lateral moves, artificial intelligence, automation, and online training are a few of the factors that have changed the landscape and removed some of the basic approaches to development that young adults previously had access to. This course introduces a systematic approach to learning and development to help young adults build a foundation for success that enables lifelong learning and development combined with an awareness and understanding of what success looks like and how to grow individually within their realm. The course incorporates lessons on individual-based learning, such as attitudes and values through leadership development adult learning theories, and concludes with practical lessons in interview strategies and negotiation techniques. It is the intention that this course provides the foundational learning experiences that foster lifelong learning, success, and the desire to provide mentorship to others along the way.
