Programme Description

This course is relevant when the leadership needs to tap into the emotional energy of the employees and forestall:

• • resistance
  • lower morale
  • lack of real effort.

When those three signs show up in the organization, then it's time for the leadership to seek inputs from people utilizing dexterity, paying attention to sensitivities and managing the differences in how people approach their works.

Broad Competencies Addressed

• • Ability to provide direction and decision for team members.

• Harness quality staff and align the employees efficiently
• Focus the whole staff on common business goals
• Wipe out “fortress mentality” by getting different departments to work well together
