The Strategic Leadership Programme Course
Introduction:
Strategic leadership encompasses a manager's ability to articulate a strategic vision for the organization or a specific part of it, and to inspire and persuade others to embrace and pursue that vision. It involves employing strategic thinking and employing strategies to effectively manage employees.
The Strategic Leadership Program is designed to provide participants with practical tools, techniques, and insights to become strategic and resilient leaders. The program equips leaders to navigate complex environments, collaborate with senior teams, and work effectively both within and outside their organizations.
The program aims to cultivate capable leaders with a broader perspective and a deeper understanding of strategic thinking and decision-making. Participants will gain valuable personal insights into their leadership style and develop a greater awareness of their strengths and areas for growth. By enhancing their strategic insight, leaders will be better prepared for future executive-level roles and equipped to lead across the organization.
During the program, participants will explore the pivotal role of creating a compelling vision that shapes the future of their organization. They will learn how to inspire and motivate others to share in this vision. Through the use of assessment instruments and the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program, participants will develop a personalized leadership plan. This plan will define what leadership means to them, its significance to their organization, and how they can foster leadership capacity in others.
