Are leaders born or made?
Based upon more than a decade of work in leadership learning and development, we’ve found that with the right combination of knowledge and hands-on learning experiences, effective leaders can be “made” especially with Sinclair guiding them along the way.
The Foundational Leadership Series is designed for those interested in learning about and building essential leadership competencies. Each session has been developed to provide learners with a fundamental understanding of the topics through lively discussion, relevant case studies, and interactive activities designed to enhance learning.
