We have honed our expertise to successfully foresee developments in business and navigate the ever increasing opportunities there are for trusted leaders who bring people with them. This programme will challenge you to reflect on your experience of leadership and to identify leadership styles, while most importantly applying them to your everyday management practice.
The aim and objectives of the Leadership & Management Programme is to bring participants through a learning experience based on reflection in their current role which results in an in-depth awareness of their own innate ability as a leader. They then develop the skills and techniques to enable them to lead in their role to deliver results through an engaged and progressive team.
