Innovative Leader
Businesses are good at getting better but poor at getting different."
Gary Hamel
CONSERVING CASH, IMPROVING EFFICIENCY, reducing costs and working harder may be enough for survival but may not be enough for success. Innovative business leaders create and support a 'can do' environment by breaking down internal barriers, improving communication and rewarding cooperation. The senior level business background of the LeaderShape faculty includes in-depth experience of acting as change catalysts and successfully creating dynamic environments.

Every organisation needs to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.
