Foreword:

• The PD Training Leadership Development Training Program has been highly praised by our business clients as effective leaders are now seen as evolving into their positions rather than being born into them. Great leaders have been traditionally viewed as "mythological creatures", separate from the rest of humanity and empowered by some mysterious quality that guides them on their path towards inevitable success.
• However, the modern view is that through patience, persistence and hard work, anyone can become a highly effective leader. The responsibility is on us to believe and make it happen. That is the reason why Executive Leadership Development is so highly sought after by most successful companies.
• Leadership development comes from within us, in the sense that deeply held values and principles provide the road map for the way we lead and therefore the way other people respond to our leadership. Hence it is important that a Leader must first understand one's own value systems before communicating those values to others. This is an integral part of our management training program as it is of critical importance to have true self-awareness before you can lead and manage others.
• The primary role of a leader also requires a thorough understanding of the team's needs, aspirations and concerns, so it is important to have excellent listening and facilitation skills as well as highly developed abilities to coach and mentor.
• This Leadership and Influencing Skills Training Program will teach you that effective leadership starts with a thorough understanding of oneself, which then allows you to support and lead others towards stated organisational goals.
