How to build a bold and authentic leadership culture that successfully drives transformation?
In this exclusive MasterClass for HR executives, Aboodi Shabi from Henley Business School will explore the value and importance of transformational, rather than incremental, leadership development and what it takes to drive change in leadership culture. He will set out possible challenges and obstacles on the way and show how different coaching solutions can help to identify and address those.
Professor Alison Hardingham, will then explore the psychology and neuroscience of coaching, and introduce evidence-based tools, techniques and ways to support change and transformation.
You will leave this Executive HR MasterClass with a better understanding of the challenges you might face developing the leadership culture in your organisation, and be able to identify what future learning areas your organisation will need to explore to change its leadership culture.
