Introduction
The heart of genuine leadership is trust. However, trust can quickly be undermined if subordinates, colleagues, and other important stakeholders sense a leader is insincere, lacking in vision or unwilling to take responsibility.
This Authentic Leadership training course supports leaders in increasing their sense of authenticity and confidence as well as building strong, trustful relationships with others thereby increasing their ability to influence and inspire valuable stakeholders.
