FHSU University Relations and Marketing

The Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University will begin its summer workshop series with “The Emotionally Intelligent Leader: Understanding Personality and Conflict” at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 24, in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge.

This workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the four components of emotional intelligence, including how to create better relationships with co-workers, subordinates and superiors.

Dr. Justin Greenleaf and Dr. Jeni McRay, both assistant professors of leadership studies at FHSU, will facilitate.

“Leadership is one of our most requested training topics,” said Sabrina William, director of the MDC. “I’m excited to see these facilitators take an interactive, hands-on approach with the participants.”

The workshop includes analyzing personality style models, theories and applications, completing self-assessments, and exploring additional components of leadership. Upon completion of this workshop, participants will have developed a personal action plan for relationship management and leadership development in their workplace.

Each person who completes the workshop will receive a completion certificate. The cost is $119. Registrations are requested prior to May 20.
