Applied Leadership Programmes
“The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example.”
These programmes take your understanding of the theory and practice of leadership and applies it to what you’re currently experiencing as a rangatira [leader] – in real time. Working with various cohorts of 10-12 other health leaders you’ll share common leadership challenges and tautoko [support] each other to strengthen your leadership effectiveness.
By keeping the focus on ‘real-time leadership’ each cohort participant receives tailored coaching, mentoring, and resources to suit their immediate needs - making this an effective and worthwhile programme for any kapa [team] rangatira [leader] working in hauora [health].
