Overview

Leadership is a complex topic. Canning's Leadership Skills programme synthesises the best of the current theories on Leadership in a concise and understandable way to allow participants the maximum amount of time to develop the key skills through discussion, simulations and video feedback. The focus of the course is very much on performance.

Through a series of scenarios, participants will learn how to communicate effectively as leaders, how to adapt their leadership style according to the situation, how to network and develop relationships and how to navigate their way to success.
