Leaders face unique challenges in the workplace. DVIRC has developed its Leadership Development Certification as a cost-effective, fast-track means for individuals to build critical skills and enhance their effectiveness as leaders.
Leadership Development Program Overview
Contrary to conventional wisdom, leadership skills are not innate; they can be developed and improved over time. This program is ideal for those in leadership roles seeking to improve their performance or that of their teams.
