Queen’s Organizational Development and Learning (ODL) Dept in HR offers some leadership courses.  Structured for Queen’s employees in management roles, this may be more pertinent to staff management. However, if faculty are interested, please review the link below. 

Alternately, we could request that the HR Department present a series of 1 hour sessions on leadership, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, understanding difficult personalities for those wishing to attend.
