Professional Development Programs/Leadership and Management Development Skills/Emergent Leaders & Managers

Good management and good people lead to business growth and success. Both good management and good people can be developed. But this is not a static process. Good leaders understand the need to continuously emerge and evolve, and not be submerged by developments and situations.

As economies, local, regional and global challenges and opportunities present themselves, and as work culture and workforce evolves, a good manager and leader needs to have both the skills and perspective to evolve themselves and their people to ensure a productive emergent dynamic in the business they are in.

This program is suitable for new managers as well as experienced managers who would like to evaluate possibilities in the potential emergent leadership that lie within themselves and the team. Participants will also be introduced to the concept of Design Thinking in their approach.
