We have established the “what” with Strategic Management and the “how we connect to the market” with Marketing Strategy. However, the most sophisticated plans will fail without the single most important catalyst for success: effective leadership. A leader’s ability to inspire, motivate, and guide teams is what transforms strategy from a document into a reality.

This module moves beyond management theories to provide practical, actionable frameworks for leading people, shaping culture, and driving change in today’s complex global environment.
