About the program
Strategic leadership is essential in transforming an organisation in to a successful and high performing one.
In a global world with a current crop of knowledgeable employees nurtured on the right to know coupled with stiff competition and a rapidly changing advanced technology, organisations need good strategic managers and capable leaders to ensure the organisation responds to change.
In the contemporary corporate environment, employees are now seen in terms of their ability to provide quality services and their ability to grow and evolve continuously as opposed to previously being perceived as a resource to provide goods and services.
As a leader, how can you influence people and their actions towards the achievement of the organisations vision, mission and goals? How can you make effective decisions about strategy formulation and implementation? How can you create a culture for delivering results?
This five-day program will discuss leadership from a broader perspective with the objective of helping participants understand the concept of leadership and how to use this knowledge to effectively manage their employees.
