At the heart of leadership is trust. However, trust can quickly be undermined if subordinates and colleagues sense a leader is insincere, lacking in vision, or unwilling to take responsibility. This seminar focuses on the role the leader has in shaping the way the team and the wider organization reaches decisions, in resolving ethical dilemmas, and in developing effective leadership strategies.
