To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoyed the program thoroughly, as it touched various aspects of the leadership for managers. It was educating , refreshing and gave in depth knowledge on many topics which I didn't find in my practical experiences from peers and seniors. Set a good bench mark on how and why a leadership role should be educated in all the aspects and the influence and impact it would have on a person team and organization overall
