Leadership ensures people perform at their best, develop their potential, and enjoy their work. This course addresses modern leadership thinking, offering a participative exploration of leadership excellence in today's highly connected and fast-paced world, with an emphasis on the practical elements of great leadership. It's about 'making the workplace a better place.'

The learning is complemented by post-workshop reading, Leading with Impact, which reinforces and expands upon the workshop content.
