It is no longer sufficient that a leader is able
to manage people and processes…
…they must also be resilient enough to effectively use their minds to manage their emotions, reactions and decisions in challenging business situations – and to help the people they manage do the same. Yet many leaders report that they feel overloaded and overworked to even get a good night’s sleep – and therefore unable to manage their own emotions effectively, never mind those of their people.
Learn the essential competencies for sustaining peak performance, creativity and motivation – even in the face of extreme stress and challenging times
