Live Virtual Course
Leading With Humanity: New Skills for the Digital Age
Overview
There is nothing like the present upheaval to put a focus on how important great leadership is to any organization. In this program, we take a different approach to leadership, one which puts the idea of the leader as servant as central, and see how this enables you to grow as a leader and create better results for your organization.
This unique program features live virtual sessions, diagnostic assessments, coaching session and leadership reflections.
