Creating and maintaining a healthy organisational culture is a critical part of leadership. Leaders who understand the influence of national, organisational, and team culture will be better able to engage and motivate individuals in their organisation.

On this two-week course from the University of Lincoln, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge you need to leverage culture.
