The Influential Team Leader

The Influential Team Leader aims to develop the people-centred skills that are decisive in bringing out the best that others have to offer. Delegates will learn how to respect diverse opinions, incorporate the needs of others, promote creativity, and recognise and develop the potential in those around them.

All leaders can get people to achieve, but influential leaders get people to want to achieve. By understanding how, they can cultivate an environment that is collaborative, trusting and positive – it is only these leaders who will motivate, inspire and encourage wholehearted engagement.
