Master of Leadership Effective leadership is a vital managerial skill, but not one that necessarily comes naturally to everyone. In fact, many of today’s leaders say it has only been through sound tertiary education, ongoing professional development and inspirational mentors that they have developed the knowledge required to lead and motivate peers and employees. This Master of Leadership provides you with everything you need to be a successful leader in a complex and demanding management and business environment.
