This programme is tailored for high-potential middle managers to enable them to take their leadership to the next level, creating significant impact in their organisation. It is also relevant for senior executives who would benefit from developing their expertise in contemporary leadership challenges.
It enables high-potential employees to reflect upon and develop their personal leadership philosophies, working within a structured programme that provides facilitated and flexible learning, coaching and peer and mentor support.
