Dealing with the essential psychological skills of leading and managing people, this programme is divided into two parts. In the first part, it looks at the intrapersonal aspect of the leader, focusing on self-awareness and self-assessment. In the second part, it looks at the essential interpersonal psychological skills. This includes understanding and working with different personality types, communicating to reduce resistance and defensiveness and maximise openness and acceptance, motivating people, the positive practice of authority and leadership, and managing self and others under pressure.
