Aspiring Leaders and Managers

Duration:
2 days

Who is it for?

Our practical 2-day Aspiring leaders and managers course is designed to support and develop the next generation of leaders and managers. Leadership and management is critical to the success of all organisations. Times have changed, with command-and-control leadership styles becoming less tenable or acceptable in a complex and digitally connected world. Successful leaders and managers are required to be agile, adaptable, have strong self-awareness and a good understanding of their impact upon others.

This course is a must for anybody who has been identified or has leadership aspirations in becoming a leader or manager within the business, including those who are brand new to a leadership or manager role. It is particularly relevant to professionals, technical staff and administrators who have recently taken on formal responsibility for leading and managing others.
