About the programme

This leadership development programme helps leaders from multiple sectors answer this complex question, and empowers them to drive change within their organisations. By examining personal motivation and purpose, and aligning with the goals of the business, participants will be equipped to successfully navigate the challenges of leadership and manage high-performance teams.

Delivered in collaboration with digital education provider GetSmarter, a 2U, Inc. brand, you will be part of a community learning together through a dedicated Online Campus.
