Management Development Redefined

BY: .

The global COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to reshape how managers operate. Leading in an office and leading from home require different sets of skills. Leaders require the necessary skills to ensure that their organisations remain on track. At the same time, they have to address the needs of their teams that are working under very different conditions.

While most leaders have faced challenges and moments of crisis at some point in their career, the COVID-19 crisis is different from anything they have faced before. Effective leadership during a prolonged crisis requires physical, psychological, and emotional prowess. It is essential for management to adjust and respond to unforeseen challenges in their organisation and business environment.

UKZN Extended Learning’s Management Development Programme cultivates thoughtful leadership that will be able to respond to this significant shift in operational priorities. Its blended learning methodology provides a platform for discussions among industry experts and academics, providing each delegate with personal and professional tools to strengthen their effectiveness as a manager and a leader.

Registration is now open for the Management Development Programme commencing on 21 July. To secure a place or for more information, click here or contact:
