Understanding the concept leadership is the pivotal step in achieving greatness and leaving a legacy.
The topic of leadership is often fraught, and a disjointed terminology that is far to often compartmentalised in our daily lives. This essentially contributes to the immense misunderstanding and malpractice of leadership within different enviroments. Leadership is an element of human greatness, and the element of leadership should ideally be developed within each one of us, in our growing years to ensure that deeply held principles of life are created within us. In a sense, this provides us with a road map for the way we choose to lead, and the way we respond to great leadership.
Understanding the concept leadership is the pivotal step in achieving greatness and leaving a legacy. It is important that a leader first understands who they are (their essence) and then share their principled value system with other's. This programme offers participants a personal life journey in leadership through understanding philosophies, models and styles of leadership.
