Course Overview

Strong leadership is the critical foundation for an organisation’s goals to be achieved. Strong leadership helps your people feel empowered and motivated so everyone works towards a common vision. Yet, it can be difficult to establish yourself as an influential leader, especially if you don’t feel all that ‘influential’.

The Ketchum Leadership Communication Monitor polled 6,509 people in 13 countries on their perceptions of what it takes to have effective leadership and communication at work. Only 22% of respondents felt that their leaders demonstrated effective leadership. Communication was cited as a top value in leadership, but only 29% of people surveyed felt their leaders were effective communicators.
