Boss’ Day was celebrated on 16 October.Be the Best Boss!
World Boss’ Day is celebrated each year and is an opportunity to acknowledge the individuals that contribute to our professional journeys. The COVID-19 pandemic has confronted leadership with many challenges in leading their teams. Thus, leading through change, being mindful and exhibiting intentional leadership are vital for today’s leaders.
The pandemic has also affected employees personally in many different ways, which could have ripple effects on their performance at work. Leaders thus require understanding of the tools and knowledge to manage these situations. Remote working has caused disconnects in teams and leaders are called on to help employees navigate this new environment.
UKZN Extended Learning’s Management and Leadership programmes cultivate mindful leadership to build high-quality connections in an organisation. Being a present leader creates a safe space for employees to feel secure and appreciated in these uncertain times and to work productively.
