Here is a roadmap for leadership development along with some internet links to training providers:

  • Communication skills: Learn to communicate effectively with your team and other stakeholders. This includes active listening, effective feedback, and conflict resolution.
  • Decision-making skills: Develop your critical thinking skills and learn to make informed decisions.
  • Team building: Learn how to build and motivate high-performing teams.
  • Time management: Learn how to manage your time effectively to prioritize tasks and maximize productivity.
