Overview

ABE administrators wear many hats in their work. One hat they must wear is that of organizational leader. Others will look to them to set the stage for change and to guide required changes as well as innovative changes that improve services and the working environment, yet may not be mandated. In this six-hour training, ABE administrators consider five main topics: 1. the difference between management and leadership 2. personal leadership style 3. visions and plans for ABE programs 4. the process of managing change, and 5. leadership challenges and opportunities
