Course overview
What Are the Foundations of Leadership?
Leadership foundations are the abilities that let someone guide others with integrity and vision: thinking strategically about trends and future challenges, communicating with clarity and respect, resolving disputes through mediation and making ethical choices. The course helps participants find their own authentic leadership voice and use it to foster collaboration and progress in their teams and communities.
Real-life case studies, role-plays, group projects and peer-to-peer learning reflect situations leaders in Eritrea face, and support from mentors helps participants use each skill in their own work.
Executives, team leaders, entrepreneurs, educators and recent graduates learn side by side, sharing perspectives and practising the respect and cooperation that hold a team together. The course also reflects Eritrea’s history, culture and resilience, with attention to traditional leadership structures, community engagement and sustainable development, so participants can lead in ways that fit the society around them.

Ethical responsibility
Ethical, responsible choices shape the long-term wellbeing of communities and the environment.
Driving positive change
Leaders with integrity and vision help Eritrea build strong, sustainable communities.
