The 21st Century Leadership micro-credentialing program is a seven-course series focused on developing critical capabilities needed to grow an individual's impact as a leader. It is designed to equip current and aspiring leaders with the understanding, skills, and tools to lead strategically. They will learn to build a team or organization that is goal-focused and vision-driven while creating an environment for people to thrive, grow, and contribute.

Upon completion of the workshop series, participants will engage in a series of coaching sessions designed to create a leadership development plan specific to their challenges and opportunities. Courses can be taken individually or as a series leading to credentialing as a 21st Century Leader through the East Carolina University College of Business.
