Certificate in Leadership

Course Introduction

Leadership begins with understanding who we are as people before we can gain acceptance as a leader of others. Knowledge of self through feedback, reflection and behaviour modelling is as important as knowledge of those that we lead or the organisation that we represent. As we master our own thinking and emotions, we can enhance our ability to lead others, acting as a role model and someone that others seek to follow. It is vital for a leader to control their emotions in a crisis, to be the rock that others seek
