Leadership Development
Leadership development comes from within us, in the sense that deeply held
values and principles provide the roadmap for the way we lead, and the way
other people respond. Hence it is important that a Leader must first understand
and then communicate one’s own value systems to other people. It is always the
Leader’s personal value system that sustains them in their quest, whether they
are a person of impeccable morals, or quite disreputable. Hence this is an
integral part of management training as it is of critical importance to have the
self-awareness to lead and manage other people.
The role of a leader starts with a thorough understanding of the team’s needs,
aspirations, and concerns, for which it is important to have
excellent listening and facilitation skills. This Leadership
Development Training Program will teach you that effective
leadership starts with a thorough understanding and congruence of
the value systems of all parties.
