Overview

A leader who is truly transformational aims to achieve success collectively, while a leader driven by ego and personal accomplishments takes a noticeably different approach.

Our Masterclass in Transformational Leadership  teaches you the theory, methods, models, and processes of being a leader who can drive organisational change.

You'll explore the dynamics of leadership; what is it and what makes an effective leader.

This short course has two core elements; personal and organisational transformation. You'll develop insight into the mind of a leader and understand what motives them. Your newfound knowledge can then be applied to instigate change at an organisational level.
