Training on Leadership and Strategic Management
In today’s complicated corporate world, managers face a wide range of tasks and goals that cannot be easily accomplished with a single mindset or leadership style. It is critical for leaders to develop a plan to express their goal or vision statement and make it possible for their business activities to be successfully carried out. Strategic management and leadership are intertwined, particularly during the implementation phase when a company sets its vision, mission, annual goals, creates regulations and allocates funds to guarantee the successful implementation of strategies. Leadership and strategic management work together to meet short-term targets, manage business priorities, and position the organization for the future while meeting current demands.
This training on leadership and strategic management equips participants with the skills to define and implement organizational strategies for themselves, their team, and their organization. It provides leaders and professionals with a set of transformational tools and techniques to help them maximize their own and their team’s creative potential in a strategic context.
