What’s the role of a modern leader? Is it to TAKE control and attract followers? Or is it to GIVE control and create more leaders? We’re socially conditioned to think that good leadership centres around ‘command and control’ but to keep teams engaged and tasks effective, empowering leadership is much more successful.
In this virtual masterclass we’ll explore how to be an empowering leader who creates an environment where people feel like they matter and processes are faster and more efficient.
This masterclass is for anyone who aspires to be a great leader, or manager, and for current leaders and managers who are looking to improve their skills.
