INTERNATIONAL NAVIGATOR LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

Boosting SA’s leaders of the future.

Calling all emerging leaders – the next International Navigator leadership programme is running in Gauteng from May 12, 2009.

Run by international not-for-profit organisation Common Purpose, this programme is targeted at emerging leaders from all three sectors: private, public and voluntary/community.

Participants will tailor-make their learning journey through a selection of modules, and will examine real-life challenges in business and in the community. They will meet movers and shakers from all walks of life and contexts, and will learn how to draw out the full value of diversity within their organisation.

Trainee or new managers and decision-makers will find the International Navigator course particularly useful and challenging, as it takes participants out of their comfort zones, encourages them to adapt better to change, explores their attitudes to risk, and improves their understanding of how people think.

Fresh ideas, new business opportunities and networking will be the order of the day, as participants learn about how power works in the region and how it can be navigated for the benefit of their organisation and society in general.

The rationale behind Common Purpose is to develop more and better leaders with collaborative styles and broader vision, which will ultimately benefit society as a whole.

The programme is Gauteng-based and starts on May 12 and runs until September 29, requiring a 45-hour commitment over five months.
