Women in management and leadership – 2 day course
- Strengthen your skillsets and hone your talents
- Mix of theory and practical exercises for proven success
The program covers areas of key relevance to women leaders and those who aspire to leadership positions (as well as the men who work with them.) As women make their way toward top positions and centre-stage roles in both public and private sector organisations, companies are under increasing pressure to bolster their boards with independent “heavyweights” and these are increasingly women.
Women bring a creative spark, intelligence, personality, professional ability and motivation to senior roles, but there are still constraints on career progression, both organisational and personal. This fast-paced and highly interactive programme will consider some of these constraints and will discuss ways to address them. A powerful and dynamic seminar, it will focus on communications, career planning and management and leadership development for mid- to senior level women managers. It will also cover some of the latest research findings from the Europe and the USA regarding women in the economy and the contribution they make.
