Course Introduction
“80 percent of Leaders who change their behaviour after training go back to their old ways within six months, often because the training was too voluminous, hard to remember, and difficult to apply.” - Grovo and Wakefield Research, 2016
The urge for better management and leadership training has never been as much needed as now in the VUCA world. Leading employees in a VUCA environment requires a different kind of mindset and skills than what was practiced in earlier times.
