    Description


    The human side of business.

    Effective strategic leaders hold a special skill set combining business acumen with attributes that empower and motivate people.
     
    In this time of great transformation, successful organizations are seeking leaders to be agents of change, to make the most of opportunities and unexpected challenges while fostering creativity, innovation and growth in the workplace. Strategic leaders inspire the confidence of customers, employees and other stakeholders while pushing boundaries that lead to new business initiatives.
     
    This two-semester Post Diploma in Strategic Leadership will help you develop innovative and flexible strategies to successfully bring out the best in your teams. You will gain a thorough understanding of the principles and techniques necessary for leadership success in any given industry.
     
    You will also build advanced communication skills to effectively connect with colleagues, promote teamwork, and prioritize workloads to ensure sustainable growth and prosperity for the organization.
     
    We are entering a time of profound economic, social and technological change in the workforce. According to research, within this decade, all industry and business will be losing a large segment of their workforce to retirement — especially those in management and leadership positions.[1]

    • An Indeed job search for Strategic Leadership employment opportunities in November 2022 resulted in over 8,000 employment opportunities nationwide.
    • Strategic Leadership is about people – mobilizing a vision and collaborating to guide innovative change to achieve results.
    • Today’s leaders must continually upgrade their skills to effectively collaborate and meet the needs of the growing knowledge economy.
