Become a Servant Leader in all aspects of your life

Wherever you are in your career, Servant Leadership is valuable in shaping your thinking. Servant Leadership is for anyone, whether you have a “leader” title or not. We are all able to be Servant Leaders as we live out the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance (CLA) definition, which is “the ability to guide, develop, and inspire others who share a common purpose by applying knowledge and skills to practical situations”. During your learning, you will be introduced to the Servant Leadership model, delving deeply into what Servant Leadership means to yourself, others, and the organization. You will then be able to apply the Servant Leadership characteristics to both the CLA methodology and Trust model. This certificate is a part of the Commonwealth Leadership Alliance Core Six™ curriculum, which is designed to educate leaders about the skills generally needed for an individual or organization to complete key processes and operations. In this certificate, you will clarify what financial literacy is by analyzing the role financial management, financial decision-making, personal taxes, and financial planning play in your financial health. Upon completion of the certificate you will be able to act on becoming more financially stable and dependent.
