The course involves watching video drama and lectures and also includes:

Learning how to lead effectively through change can benefit you professionally, as doing this well is one of the biggest challenges leaders face. It is estimated that 70% of change efforts in organisations fail. Don't let yours be one of them.

Leadership is a complex, judgemental, psychological task. I am a chartered organisational psychologist with over 25 years' experience working with organisations and leaders going through change. I know the theory and have witnessed the practice. I have selected the best of both to speed your learning journey in this complex area. By the end of this course, you will be better equipped to lead through change with confidence and skill.
