End Date : 04 Jun, 2022
Early Bird Discount Date : 11 May, 2022
Programme Overview
Leadership in dynamic times assumes a radically different perspective to the traditional way of “teaching” leadership. In contrast to the usual advice to acquire additional skills, this scientific view of leadership focuses on how to gather influence and power by working with, and harnessing, the resources and others abilities. This view not only exponentially increases the power that the leader exudes, but also makes them more agile and flexible. Once the leader realizes the hidden power of people and networks, they can quickly adapt to new situations, and tap resources that are situationally needed. By avoiding irreversible investments in skills that soon become obsolete, leaders can evolve continually when complex systems change, often unpredictably. This programme is unique, in that it is designed to equip you with the skill to be a more creative and an expert decision maker and to gain the commitment, support, and devotion of your organizational members. members.
