Case studies and behind-the-scenes visits to area businesses and organizations “provide further insight and understanding.”

In addition, the Supervisors Institute is designed for mid-career professionals and helps participants develop a “more advanced understanding” of leadership principles and build a “supervisory toolkit to maximize” their team’s performance. It provides techniques to “inspire and cultivate a shared vision among team members, manage change, and coach for high performance,” MVCC said.

Another program, the Leadership Academy, is designed for early-career professionals and helps participants “maximize their strengths, amplify their communication skills, recognize the importance of emotional and behavioral intelligence, and develop a clear vision of who they are as a leader.”
