Managing Managers and Developing Leaders

Leading a team of managers is very different from leading frontline staff, yet many senior leaders in South African organisations are promoted without preparation for it. This five day programme builds the skills needed to lead other leaders, set direction across multiple teams, and grow the next generation of managers. Delegates learn to hold managers accountable while developing their capability and judgement.
