Leadership is an elusive skill. Libraries and MBA programs are crammed full of leadership and management theories, that are difficult to apply in your day job.

Firstly, after scrambling through a competitive education system to reach the workplace they are faced with the demoralising thought that much of their formal education is ill-suited to the rigours of company life. Secondly, in a swirling competitive global market they need to upgrade their soft skills – including leadership – so that they are ready to capture the opportunities that are available for people with a keen sense of learning and getting ahead.
