Every organisation needs great leadership. Dynamic and purposeful leaders can literally change the world. In academia the very best leaders are self-aware, skilful communicators with excellent people skills.

- understand a range of leadership styles
- work with a team of proven leaders from a range of careers
- develop as an effective leader of people and teams
- use strengths and achievements to create success
