Seminar overview - Why this seminar is essential for you:

The leader of today has greater challenges than ever before in terms of unlocking human potential in their organization and delivering results. This programme will help you achieve those aims and help you initiate and manage change more effectively. In particular, it will help you to:
Develop an effective strategy to achieve your goals
Understand the role of emotional intelligence in leadership
Take away a practical leadership tool-kit
Develop a more dynamic approach through enhanced strategic creativity
Broaden your understanding of the corporate culture to increase your influence within it
Improve your persuasion and influencing skills to achieve your strategic goals
Learn the key functions of strategic leadership
In today’s world, one of the main aims of the leader is to develop the capability of the organisation to handle change and the challenges of the future even if those challenges have yet to be discovered. Leading in the organisational setting is becoming increasingly difficult because of the increase in regulation in all sectors and the risk of litigation. All organisations need leaders who can handle these challenges effectively, in particular the complexities of organisational life. At the same time, people who feel they are led effectively from the top find it easier to cope with and perform under higher pressure levels and therefore achieve the ultimate business/organizational goals.
Who should attend?
This programme has been specifically designed for senior managers and those middle managers who are on the fast track to senior positions. It is suitable for both public and private sector individuals and all senior managers, executives and directors who understand the benefits both personally and professionally of developing strategic leadership skills.
Practical training methods
The seminar will be handled with broad range of learning techniques including short input sessions, individual development exercises, group work and case studies to provide a strong mix between practical training and giving a sound foundation of strategic leadership theory. The seminar provides you with a unique opportunity to put into practice what you have learnt and benefit from the observations and perceptions of other seminar participants.
