What is Leadership Development?
Leadership development refers to activities that improve the skills, abilities and confidence of leaders.
When does it start?
Leadership is leadership. It applies to both the young and the old. The leadership principles, skills and techniques are the same for any age. However much you read all of the leadership books and sign up for all the leadership courses you want – the skills and knowledge you learn from them don’t become real until you actually practice them.
Who is it for?
Leaders who work up, down and across the organization, mid-to-senior level leaders who lead other managers; operational, group or department managers, student leaders, or anyone who aspires to take up a leadership role in whatever capacity should attend this leadership development training program.
Why is Leadership Development more important today?
Organizations today are more aware than ever that leadership development is an important answer to their biggest challenges.
Leadership development programs can therefore create a measurable impact by informing the learning experience with cutting edge data through assessments, connecting what participants learn in the classroom to key leadership challenges they face on the job and day to day life and making leadership development a learning process.
