The course now moves up a gear and investigates the eight strategies essential to build a high performance workplace.
In Strategy 1 we look at the first action for any leader, set the direction, you must know where you are going if you expect others to join you on the journey, This is relatively familiar stuff but to be effective your team must also buy in to the direction.
