Brief Description


Some of the biggest challenges for someone in a leadership position, big or small, are to aspire, influence, lead and direct others to achieve the greater goals of the organization. The bigger the organization, the greater the challenge will be, given the diverse and sometimes “conflicting” roles of functions within the organization. The ability to develop effective strategies, goals and actions within each function as well as across functions therefore becomes one of the most important skills a leader must have.
