The updated course focuses on three main areas: improving individual effectiveness, establishing collaborative teams, and creating strategic alignment within organizations.
Key features include content based on the bestselling book that has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, emphasis on developing emotional intelligence, proactive problem-solving, and self-leadership skills.
The course is structured around The Maturity Continuum®, featuring Private Victory® (Habits 1-3), Public Victory® (Habits 4-6), and Renewal (Habit 7), and is available in multiple formats across 20 languages.
