Learn how to develop leadership skills and lead teams effectively in a fast-changing world

Stepping up into a leadership role in today’s dynamic environment comes with complex challenges. 
To lead others effectively, you first have to lead yourself; you have to build the resilience and growth mindset to overcome hurdles, and to mobilise, align and inspire collaborative teams in a changing workplace, in changing times.

Developing Emerging Leaders is a dynamic, online learning programme that will challenge you to learn about yourself and how your behaviours and decisions impact the performance of those around you. You will explore leadership through the multiple lenses of power and fairness, culture and psychological safety. And you will emerge with the understanding, the clarity and the confidence to make a decisive step forward in your career and your role within the organisation. 
 

Skills you will develop

  • Self-awareness
  • Leading Teams
  • Developing People
  • Resilience and Agility
  • Building Inclusivity
