through Authentic Leadership

Facilitated by Lester Levy
In Auckland at a date to be advised

Leadership evokes imagery of inspiration, vision, courage, creativity, passion and optimism… You follow a leader because they are worth following – they inspire and motivate you. Management evokes a quite different image: of steadiness, rationality, analysis and control. You follow a manager because you have to.

This MasterClass will include a strategic perspective of the leadership-culture-performance connection with an insight into contemporary leadership theory and research, as well as a very strong emphasis on practical application.

Key learning objectives

• Differentiate between the concepts of management and leadership, management development and leadership development and leader and leadership.
• Identify the instrument of leadership.
• Understand the critical questions and issues around leadership.
• Understand the link between inspiring performance and leadership.
• Understand how to develop committed, creative and high performing organisations.
  

Learning Style

This intensive MasterClass will combine facilitated interactive sessions with practical exercises and mini case studies.
