DEVELOPING LEADER CHARACTER (THURSDAY, MARCH 6TH, 2025)
Instructor: Alejandro (Alex) Fernandez, MS (Professor and Director of the Inclusive Leadership Institute)
This workshop focuses on the element of leadership that has largely been neglected in leadership development: Character. Although character is often thought to be a subjective construct, this workshop argues otherwise. We will discuss the concrete behaviors associated with different eleven-character dimensions (accountability, drive, collaboration, courage, justice, temperance, humility, humanity, integrity, transcendence, and judgement) and illustrate how these behaviors can be developed, how character can be strengthened, and how it leads to improved decision making and judgement.
FROM MANAGEMENT TO LEADERSHIP (THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH, 2025)
Instructor: Marianne Gooch, MBA (Founder and President of DynaComm LLC)
Every company needs leaders – those who inspire others, create change in the company, elevate profitability and expand market share But few managers understand the unique strengths needed to become such a leader. This one-day course will help you develop the critical skills you will need to advance from tactical to strategic; from contributor to achiever; from manager to leader. Once complete, you will have the strategies, tools and techniques to enhance your leadership potential.

“As an organizational development student, I observed Tony's teaching style and responses from interactive sessions. He's very skilled and well knowledgeable in the subjects taught. What I thought he did supernaturally well was how he adapted to the responses, even with the craziest far-fetched ones. He allowed them to get into a discussion to understand where it was going. If he wasn't sure how to answer, he redirected the conversation amazingly! I only noticed this once, by the way - very eloquently done.”

"The Leadership Development program was a great refresher of important leadership skills. My MBA program covered all of the same ground, but it's always good to keep the skills fresh. I would absolutely recommend the class to others in the organization. Thank you."

“The Mini-MBA was one of the finest learning experiences I've had. The faculty is very knowledgeable and conducted the program with the level of care that doesn't exist in every institution.
I was able to get a good understanding of what a full MBA program looks like. I was also able to determine my core areas of strength and fields I would like to pursue at the graduate level, while I determined the right opportunity to take on the MBA program.
One thing is certain, UH is on top of my list for any business graduate program including the MBA.”
Mohammad Shafi
Logistics Supervisor | Certarus Ltd Mini-MBA in Management & Leadership
“The program was valuable to me both personally and professionally. This space gave the opportunity to rethink/reestablish our big picture goals and realize that we can forge our own paths. We do not have to be confined by what has gone by before and there are tools and strategies we can use to hone our visioning skills. Thanks for a great summer of learning!”
