Senior Leader Level 7

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Senior Leaders are a key component of all types of business model where there is a workforce to lead, manage and support, they need to be able to provide clear, inclusive and strategic leadership and direction relating to their area of responsibility within an organisation. Typically, this involves setting, managing and monitoring achievement of core objectives that are aligned to the overall strategic objectives of their organisation’s Board(or equivalent).
