Course Overview
Leadership is an essential quality in all management and supervisory positions. It is not so much what leaders do, as something that arises out of our interpersonal relationships. It does not depend on one person, but on how people act together to make sense of the situations that face them.
This course will help you to identify the qualities of leadership and apply these with your team through a combination of self reflection, group activities and shared learning.
