Being a good leader involves galvanising the energies of a team towards shared goals and a shared sense of purpose. During this interactive masterclass with business psychologist Dan Leatherdale, you’ll learn how to develop an authentic communication style that will engage the hearts and minds of others – and direct them towards achieving well-articulated objectives.
