CENTER for the ADVANCEMENT of LEADERSHIP (C.A.L.)
LEADERSHIP IS CRUCIAL – AND CAN BE TAUGHT
In today’s world, individuals often excel in their schooling and obtain a job based on their technical competencies, yet fail to advance for lack of a basic skill often neglected by our country’s learning institutions: leadership. In its most basic form, leadership is defined as the ability to influence. To be an effective leader, however, a person must know how to meaningfully apply that influence to a wide range of life’s arenas, beginning with one’s self and expanding to interpersonal and organizational relationships and the greater communities where we live.
The Center for the Advancement of Leadership’s fundamental goals can be organized into four categories:
- Providing cutting-edge personal, interpersonal, organizational and civic/service leadership training and experiences for the benefit of UVU students and all high schools, junior high, and grade schools throughout Utah.
- Preparing students to lead effectively in the private, government and nonprofit sectors.
- Serving regional for-profit and nonprofit organizations in their quest to advance individual, team and organizational potential through “best in class” leadership training seminars, workshops and consulting services.
- Promoting scholarly and applied research related to leadership, character and life-skills development.
