Course overview
What Is a Leadership Identity?
A leadership identity is the essence of who you are when you lead: the core beliefs behind your approach, the strengths you bring, the aspirations that motivate you and the way your team experiences you. This course goes beyond conventional leadership training, guiding participants on a journey of self-discovery and showing them how to lead from that identity with integrity, purpose and passion.
Interactive workshops, introspective exercises, real-world applications and peer mentoring help participants explore their own beliefs and experience, forming an authentic identity that suits the professional landscape leaders in Indonesia work in.
As Indonesia’s market continues to evolve, the course helps emerging leaders, mid-level managers and seasoned professionals across the country uncover their values, strengths and aspirations, so they can lead with integrity, purpose and passion while staying true to themselves.
