Description

Today’s organizations are looking for tomorrow’s leadership team.  As a good project manager the next step in your career could very well take you to this next level: senior leadership.  But how do you get there?   What will it take to get your career to this next level?   How can you move from a management position to one of a leader: a senior leader within your industry or elsewhere?

This workshop will put aside the skills and knowledge you need to have to be a good project manager and focus on what you need to be a great leader.  Over the course of the morning we will explore the gaps between our skills, knowledge and professional attributes and those of famous and local leaders. 

  • Thinking like a senior leader - learning the language, talking the talk.
  • Leadership Styles and where you fit in
  • Thinking outside the box - creatively and critically
  • Presentation and writing skills
  • Decision making and good judgement
  • Communications skills required by senior leaders
  • The Strategic Plan – creating and delivering
