Leadership exists primarily in three domains: the domain of the self, the domain of the other/the team, and the domain of the system. This course will explore all three domains, providing clarity on the role of each and practical tools to help the leader be more aware of and effective in each one. All domains of leadership exist in correlation with each other to create an effective ecosystem of safety and trust in which people can thrive. If one suffers, all the others suffer too. Leaders who take part in this masterclass will develop a much deeper self-awareness of how their personal challenges and worldviews influence how they show up as leaders.
Mentorship Programmes
TBR Africa offers its members 1-on-1 cross-company, cross-sector mentorship opportunities connecting experienced executives who possess experience serving on the boards of top organisations with emerging leaders in the early stage of their board journey. These sessions provide guidance to enable members to succeed at the boardroom and effectively navigate boardroom and leadership challenges.
