Leadership for Executives

Leaders can make a significant contribution to creating productive work environments. In order to do so, they must balance the expectations from above and below. If leaders manage to meet the needs of the organization, and also take into account the needs of employees, all parties will be more satisfied, and the organisation is more likely to do well. In this training, participants find out about major  leadership competencies and establish criteria for determining appropriate leadership styles. They discover the significance of personality types for everyday leadership and team collaboration and identify which potential conflicts exist between different personality types.
