Management & Leadership for High Potential Individuals in IFS 

Introduction

"The leader must first know, understand, and be able to lead him/herself before they can lead others." Personal Mastery

This programme is a leadership development programme as opposed to a training programme. The difference being that our programme focuses on:

• Embedded learning
• Resulting in each manager having a greater range of exercisable choices
• Leading to discernible behavioural change.
