Leadership and People Management

The most valuable assets of your organisation are your people. Today’s effective leaders understand what drives others, but they are also aware of their personal motives. Are you someone that generates trust, shows empathy, and appreciates diversity? A great leader embraces lifelong learning.

In this blended course, you will learn the best practices to thrive as a leader. We will guide you during the first three weeks as you work on our online Moodle platform (12 hours). Then we will meet in Ede, the Netherlands, where we will conduct several practical activities over five days (40 hours). You will receive support and guidance from our leadership team during all phases of this course.
