Week 6 – Leadership
Week 6 – Leadership
The whole concept of leadership has evolved over the years, from a model that was primarily based on strength and performance to, thankfully, many other nuances that recognize the many personal and technical dimensions of leadership, and how each person can express himself or herself through the leadership role.
The Next Institute has worked for many years with hundreds of leaders worldwide and have recently redefined the Elements of Leadership to encompass a new and unique scenario and challenge, within an evolving landscape.
We invite you to click on the image below to explore the interactive site on Elements of Leadership and the content and context for them.
