Overview
Leadership requires so much of us in ordinary times. In these incredibly challenging times, getting leadership right is more important than ever.
This course is for people who are new to or aspiring to their first true leadership role.
Just because you’ve got the job title, it doesn’t mean you’ll have the confidence to lead, or the self-awareness to be truly objective about your strengths. You might feel like you’re stuck and not making progress. Or that others have some innate knowledge about what to do and how to do it, and you’ve not been let in on the secret.
Sometimes the knowledge and approaches that have got us where we are aren’t quite enough to take us to the next level.
This course will give you practical tools you can use to evaluate your current leadership abilities and to understand what you need to do to fill in any gaps. If there’s something you’re not aware of that’s holding you back, this course will help you find and deal with it.
It will bring you clarity about your personal strengths and how you can build on them to lead with purpose and authenticity.
