The Kauffmann Leadership Institute is the result of the vision of President Richard Cosentino to provide Lander employees with valuable leadership training opportunities.
The purpose of the institute is to identify current strengths and areas of opportunity with the Lander University team through assessments, workshops and one-on-one coaching to enhance individual development and create an environment of increased communication and collaboration for greater internal and external success.
