Leadership
Communication is critical to great leadership.
Modern leaders need to have a creative, adaptable and versatile language skills-set under a constant round of review and improvement.
In order for a leader to succeed, regardless of the organisation they work in, their communication style needs to reflect this.
At the University of Nottingham we have been researching, teaching and delivering leadership consultancy and training for over 20 years. Our innovative and creative approach to workshops and consultancy is unique, as it is directly informed by cutting-edge academic research. Our coaching methods encourage leaders to pinpoint their current communication styles and to assess their effectiveness, using a set of practical linguistic toolkits. This process of reflection creates the presence and impact that modern leaders strive for within their teams.
