Leadership for new managers

COURSE OBJECTIVES          

Many people find themselves leading teams and wondering what the ‘magic ingredient’ is to make them work together effectively. Good leadership creates strong teams. This programme will help you develop leadership skills that you can in many different situations.

Leadership is not a process or a series of actions. It is a mindset and an attitude. Leadership is found in many places and in many people.
