The words ‘leader’ and ‘manager’ are often used interchangeably — but in reality, they’re more different than you might think.
‘Manager’ often focuses on a position or role; ‘Leadership’ focuses on the people and the mindset. You can be a ‘leader’ in any role or at any level.
Watch this free online workshop to learn how to identify and develop your leadership skills at any level. You’ll discover why leadership is for everyone, and why you don’t need to wait until you’re in a particular position before becoming a leader.
Who should watch:
This workshop is for any public servant or policymaker who wants to develop their leadership skills, whether you’ve been working for years or are just getting started in your career.
