Leadership in Senior Management

Leadership in Senior Management

Achieve high level results by developing high level people

Business need

The higher you go in an organisation, the more important the people aspects of your job become. But people issues don't become easier as people become more senior. This, coupled with the unrelenting pace of change in today's business environment, means you need to direct and motivate your senior staff to enable them to cope and thrive on change. This intensive and interactive programme will show you how to do exactly that.
