The Course Outline
Module 1
Develop personal mastery
Before you can lead others, you need to be able to lead yourself. After all, leadership is deeply personal. This concept of ‘leading yourself’ is often referred to as personal mastery or self-leadership.
Module 2
Practice and promote productivity
Every great journey starts with one small step. Learn effective habits for leading in a digital age, and how behavioural design is key to your personal, team and organisational productivity.
Module 3
Build high-performing teams
In this module, you will be introduced to the concept of values-based leadership, and explore how your values as a founder are integral to finding the right business partner and hiring the right people for your team.
