MANCOSA Leadership Development Programme (LDP) | October 2014 | Durban – South Africa

INTRODUCTION____________________________________________________

PROGRAMME RATIONALE__________________________________________

Participants are invited to explore the dynamics of leadership - its foundations,

variations and complexity. The programme will encourage delegates to engage and

will challenge their conceptions of leadership. By reflecting on their experiences,

delegates will begin to analyse and develop their leadership strengths and

weaknesses, guiding them to make sound strategic and management decisions.

1

Corporates are no longer in favour of the traditional leadership programmes offered

by business schools and require managers and executives to attend programmes

that are stimulating and out of the ordinary. While being firmly rooted in sound

contemporary research by leading thinkers in the world, MANCOSA’S LDP offers

delegates an opportunity to experience a profound personal and leadership

transformation. I t's never too late to learn, change or find your passion.
