DEVELOPING
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS
Leadership Roundtable. The Sandberg Leadership Center
hosts a Leadership Roundtable regularly. A specific topic is addressed
by nationally known presenters and discussed by leaders representing
business, government, education, and the church. Past Roundtable themes
have been Leadership & Character, Leadership & Power, and Leadership &
Ethics.

Hope, Post Modern Leadership, Compassionate Capitalism, Gender Relationships

Leadership Assessments. Leadership is on the line
today. If organizations and communities are going to move forward,
leaders must grow personally. At the Sandberg Leadership Center, leaders
are assessed in qualities of relational skills, personal development,
and ethical leadership. Leaders need to constantly ask the question, “Am
I acting like the leader I want to be?”

incorporating assessment, small group interaction, seminar-style instruction,
a mentor relationship and self-directed learning focused upon four major
journeys of the personal and professional life of a developing Christian
business leader.
