TOOLS

A key differentiator of this program is the use of a comprehensive 360 degree feedback instrument. Supporting this feedback will be a personality profiling that will measure your behavioural and working style as it relates to performance. Together, these tools will provide an assessment of your effectiveness as a leader.

Professional facilitators will help interpret and integrate the assessments and provide a personalised reflective experience, both in small group sharing sessions and one-on-one. The facilitators will also assist you in designing an action plan to develop the capabilities needed to be a more effective leader.
