Content Overview
With complex topics such as leadership, how you learn is as important as what you learn. The Challenge of Leadership combines the characteristics of being group oriented, reflective and in the “here and now”.
First, this means that the personal experiences of the select community built during the programme get frequent airing. This 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’. Equally, leadership theory and psychological concepts are tailored to the needs of each cohort. Here are some concepts that have been part of previous classroom discussions:
