Leadership for Non-leaders
Leaders inspire, leaders influence, leaders transform. But leaders are made, not born. You don’t need to be a CEO, or general manager to be a great leader. In this course, you’ll explore leadership theories and how to differentiate leadership from management. You’ll also investigate what leadership challenges can organisations face. Finally, you’ll develop an individual plan for leadership development on the background of contemporary leadership approaches.
On top of that, you’ll get to hear from several emerging leaders about their experiences with leadership and how to become and be a good leader. You can learn from
- Pauline Fetaui - the founder of CheeHoo and Seven Sisters Foundation
- Scott Millar - the CEO and founder of BOP Industries
- Gemma Manning – the founder and Group CEO of Manning & Co, and the founder of Gemstar
- Stewart Wheeler – an experienced leader of all things hospitality
