In today’s dynamic work environment, leadership is no longer about command and control — it’s about authenticity, influence, and creating a shared vision.
A flatter organisational hierarchy means managers must lead through trust, inspiration, and clear communication rather than authority alone.
This innovative two-day workshop is designed to equip managers with the essential leadership skills needed to thrive. Participants will explore a wide range of leadership methodologies, assess their own leadership style, and develop practical strategies for motivating and inspiring their teams.
At Progress Training, we focus on making leadership training directly relevant, practical, and aligned to the realities of today’s workplaces. Our facilitators combine current business experience with an experiential learning approach to ensure every participant leaves with immediately applicable skills.
