I was concerned about attending a Zoom course, but Malcolm managed to keep the conversation going which maintained interest throughout.” * “Malcolm Sparrow provided an intellectual framework from which to consider regulatory models and the management of risk.

Good, authentic leaders generate trust and confidence. They are made not born. The best leaders go beyond management expertise and bring their authentic selves into their leadership. So, what’s holding you back from reaching your leadership potential? Join Harvard Kennedy School public policy lecturer Dr Dana Born, a distinguished former military leader, to better understand your personal story, find your distinctive leadership purpose and learn how to lead more effectively and meaningfully.

I’ll be doing some things differently as a result, and that is what I hope for when attending training. Thank you!” * “Congratulations to Dana and the ANZSOG team. So impressive. I wasn’t disappointed!” WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? Dr Born will guide you through case studies, individual exercises, debates and small-group discussions. You will create a leadership purpose statement to launch your own “true north” development plan. On completion of the workshop, you will: * have reflected on your leadership journey and the crucibles that have shaped you by examining your life story and experiences * understand why leaders lose their way and the self-awareness needed to avoid this * have explored how to build support teams and lead an integrated life * understand the purpose of your leadership and empower other leaders, while optimising your own leadership effectiveness.
