Brain Matters: How to maintain leadership excellence and have clarity of mind, under pressure

The busyness which accompanies being a leader today in the 24/7/345 world of interconnectedness is often distracting from what is important and limiting the ability to lead with excellence. Most managers have to admit that far too much of their time in a day is spent putting out fires and wasting time rather than doing their best work.
Attendance of this programme will help managers learn to lead with excellence by cultivating innate capabilities to focus upon what is important, to see more clearly what is presenting itself, and to foster greater creativity. When able to do so, managers are much more able to make the choices required by a leader, as they have both the time and space to do so.
