Programme Information (Modular Programme)
This Exemplary Leadership Programme has been designed for those who are ready to take the next step on their leadership journey.
Developing leadership skills is more than learning to be a good manager. Great leadership is based on finding our own inner qualities and strengths and leading ourselves with conviction, before we can lead others with influence and confidence. Leadership from this perspective is a manifestation of our unique personal power, purpose and vision.
This programme emphasises how leaders can inspire people to achieve more, through helping individuals find meaning in their work, take new skilful actions, and build stronger work commitments.
