Leaders Development Programme

Leadership is one of the most researched yet least understood aspects of human behaviour.  One of the recurrent themes is that leadership happens at a variety of levels.  Team leadership pulls together a group of people to work on a specific task in a prescribed time-frame to produce a specific outcome.  Operational leaders create the right environment for the team leadership activities to be carried out effectively; shaping the culture of the organisation and determining where management energy is deployed.

Strategic leadership is about creating a strategy and planning how to implement it; it is also about issues such as morale, sustainability, administrative expertise, forming and maintaining effective relationships and creating trust.  This session focuses on building upon and developing strategic leadership ability. 

Who should attend?

Senior managers and leaders who have responsibility for setting strategy and taking their business’s forward.
