Course description
There is compelling evidence globally that the one factor critical to business success is strong and effective leadership. Leadership is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It is the calibre of leaders personally, as well as the culture of leadership they create, that predicts organisational success. This course is designed to enhance your personal leadership style and to support your leadership journey. It will enable you to identify the potential for personal development in areas such as strategic and organisational leadership, team and change leadership. You will re-examine how strong leaders build culture and align it with strategy to effectively transform organisations. Drawing from contemporary research and consulting, as well as by hearing from industry leaders, you will see how the best leaders apply their knowledge, skills and influence to achieve tangible results in rapidly changing environments.
