Content Overview
The Challenge of Leadership combines the characteristics of being group oriented, reflective and clinical. First, this means that the personal experiences of the select community built during the course get frequent airing. This in turn helps leaders consider their behaviour, increasing their ability to act, reflect and then refocus their actions. They thus become what we refer to as ‘reflective practitioners’. Lastly, the programme uses a clinical framework, drawing on psychoanalysis, family systems theory, developmental psychology and cognitive theory among other disciplines, and applying them to business. The modules will cover the following topics.
