Essentials Program

A short, intensive program targeting new managers and leaders or those about to transition into a leadership role.

Develop your practical leadership skills

As we transition into the new work order and manage the complexities of our current environment, mastering the fundamentals of great management and leadership is essential to guide teams successfully through periods of dynamic change.

Essentials supports leaders to manage and lead teams in varying contexts, combining facilitated learning, online study, profiling, leadership coaching, mentoring and workplace projects for long-term real-world impact.
