This programme is designed to provide leaders and managers with practical insights, step-by-step guide, and tools which can be used to develop their department strategies and operation plans, identify desired organisational behaviours and governance compliance requirements for their team members to follow, and to lead and influence their team effectively towards attainment of shared team goals.
