Leaders and leadership: The challenge of 'doing' leadership [webinar]
"Leadership is not about a title or a designation."
This workshop will give you insights into what leadership means in the 21st century and the challenges of being a leader. It will give you an opportunity to reflect on your own potential to lead and make a difference in the workplace.
