This Mastering People Management & Team Leadership training course enables experienced managers to ‘master’ people management & to have confidence that team leadership can be taught and makes a tangible difference to the manager, the team and the organization. An important area is that the difference between leadership and management is essential to understand.
But what makes a leader truly credible? Why and how are followers actually inspired?
