Sigma Chi Leadership Institute Course Catalog

Inno­v­a­tive Lead­ers embody the char­ac­ter­is­tics of a col­lab­o­ra­tive cre­ator. They reflect on the past, look toward the future, and lean into emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies and veins of thought.

Lead­er­ship demands a flex­i­ble and nim­ble mind­set. Our mem­bers can be pre­pared to embrace our ever-chang­ing envi­ron­ment through learn­ing and embrac­ing the tenets of Sig­ma Chi’s Inno­v­a­tive Lead­er­ship Cer­tifi­cate. In this course, broth­ers will learn to lead using time-test­ed and in-demand prob­lem-solv­ing skills and strate­gies that help teams over­come chal­lenges through a growth mind­set, all to advance the gen­er­a­tion of trans­for­ma­tion­al lead­ers com­mit­ted to friend­ship, jus­tice and learning.
