Practical Leadership

With the guidance of an expert, this training is designed to strengthen professional skills that enable you to lead in an inspiring and effective way.

Your success as a manager depends greatly on your personal actions. Formal authority is not a strong foundation. It comes down to vision, tact, and persuasion. How do you lead a team of individuals? How do you create support for your ideas? How do you deal with resistance? How do you conduct difficult conversations? With the guidance of an expert, this training is designed to strengthen professional skills that enable you to lead in an inspiring and effective way. You gain insight into your own skills, pitfalls, and position as a leader, and it gives you the tools to optimise how you carry out your role, enabling you to achieve better results together with your team.
