Building leadership capability

To thrive you need effective leadership as well as management. Leaders who can inspire people to share a vision of the future and sustain them through periods of change and uncertainty. A lot of businesses/organisations have effective managers but find, especially as they move into new markets, expand or get involved in multi-agency partnership working, that the demand for leadership becomes stronger.
