Mastering Interpersonal Dynamics Leadership Series
In order to master interpersonal dynamics, you need to primarily focus on understanding people and how we interact with one another. This essentially focuses on gaining insights into two primary areas: people systems and relationship synergies. The Mastering Interpersonal Dynamics series provides practical, research-based tools to help you achieve mastery in these two people-centered domains.
Elevate is a multi-university partnership, along with Spectrum Knowledge and the University of California Office of the President—MESA. We develop leaders across industries, from “hire to retire.”
