Course description
In the midst of economic and business uncertainty, change is the only constant. In these uncertain times there is a significant need for leaders to identify personal strategies for their own physical and emotional resilience and be able to promote these behaviours across their organisation.
Resilience is the ability to manage and adapt to adversity and is important for successful leaders to thrive. The ability to persevere in the face of adversity is perhaps the essential mark of an effective leader. A resilient leader must maintain control, remain grounded and flexible amidst uncertainty. Without a clear and flexible mindset leaders become rigid and difficult to cope.
The Resilient Leader Programme has been designed to equip leaders with the practical skills, techniques and tools to perform more resiliently. The course enables leaders to take the learning back to their teams, enabling others to upskill on their own resilience.
Resilient leaders overcome an ever-evolving, complex and challenging environment whilst driving performance and growth.
