Leadership Skills Course

Leadership Skills Course

Leadership skills are quickly becoming an essential part of every manager’s skill set in an environment where there is an increased demand for more leaders that have the capability to influence the direction of animal health and welfare, as well as initiate policy changes and manage emerging issues in the areas of animal health, zoonoses, food safety, animal health economics and policy development.

This unit aims to develop your leadership management skills by focussing on social intelligence and communication skills; strategy and decision-making skills; ethics and management systems and organisational design. You will also be taught how to lead teams, manage yourselves and your careers, and also how to engage your stakeholders in the process of developing these skills.
