Develop new and emerging leaders with our flagship leadership development program
The Emerging Leader is not one of those theoretical courses you send people to for 5 days in the hope that they will become a better leader. It's a challenging and immersive learning experience that delivers real world results.
The transition from an individual contributor to a manager is one of the biggest challenges most leaders will face in their career... It's a challenge that will result in a 30 - 50 per cent drop in performance by 50 - 70 percent of new managers.
The Emerging Leader is a tried and tested program that has been running for over a decade. It is designed for new, or recently appointed people managers, team leads and high potentials who are responsible for managing and leading others.
