The Leadership Imperative: Uncovering the Leader Within

Today's mangers and executives face many challenges: changing technologies, global competition and the growing demands of clients, employees, shareholders and stakeholders. A new kind of leader is needed; one who thrives on change, who fosters innovative environments and who is able to lead successfully into the third millennium.

But what distinguishes exceptional leadership from ordinary leadership? It is not simply an awareness of practices, vision, mission and values alone. The key to unlocking the leader within is a passion and enthusiasm that originates from the heart.

In this session, we hope you will find "kindling" that will help allow you to re-ignite the fire of understanding and passion for yourself, your work and for those you lead.

About the program:

In this session, through a series of lectures, dialogues, group discussion and self assessments, you will understand leadership and management and why both are important; you will understand the concept of leadership as it applies to personal development, team building and organizational development; and you will gain a greater understanding of your personal vision and mission and formulate plans for approaching specific issues and challenges affecting you, your position and your business.
