personal leadership style and become a force to
reckon with in their organisations, this

fundamental gaps around leadership across
industries and show you how to lead through
example. You will learn to recognise leadership
fundamentals, compare influence tactics, and

momentum. For mid-level managers who focus
on internal and external stakeholder
management to expand their sphere of influence
at the workplace, this programme will help you
leverage your leadership and team management
skills to step into the next phase of your career.

You will benefit from this programme’s focus on

fostering a growth mindset, leading change and
