Lead Teams and Build Organizations That Last
Development organizations often promote strong technical staff into leadership roles without giving them the leadership and organizational-development skills the role actually demands — and both the team and the mission pay the price.
This five-day workshop builds practical leadership and organizational-development capability — from leading teams and managing change to strengthening organizational systems — for managers and leaders across the development sector.
