High Performance Leadership - Why Should Anyone Follow You? - Residential

Course details

You will have the opportunity to receive one-to-one coaching and support from a facilitator in understanding your profile. They will help you to develop a personal leadership development plan to implement when you return to the workplace.

The Benefits of a Residential Course

Why is this a residential course?

We believe it allows you to continue your learning in a relaxed way (one of the exercises is carried out over dinner with the facilitators), it builds your network with other senior business leaders and encourages all in sharing knowledge and experience with fellow delegates.

It also means that the facilitators can give you the one-to-one coaching and feedback in a relaxed environment.

Is it right for me?

Suitable for department heads and senior managers who work cross-functionally. It is also valuable for high potential individuals on the fast track to promotion. You will need to deliver results through the effective management of people.
