Leading in a transforming and diverse society.
08, 09, 14, 15 & 16 September 2010 (5 days).
Endorsed by the Business Women’s Association.
During these challenging times, when business is changing on all fronts, it is imperative
for businesses to develop new leaders, to assist them in realising their potential,
both for their company's success, and for the future of leadership in South Africa.
The HIRS STRATEGIC WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME has been run at
Wits Business School and Milpark Business School. The programme has been designed
specifically to assist women in management positions to better manage, lead
and gain leverage within their organisations.
The programme’s unique educational environment is both powerful and inspirational because it operates
on several different levels. As an analytical experience, the focus is on learning innovative leadership
competencies. On a developmental level, the result is transformational, as participants step back and reflect
on what key issues mean to them as individuals and professionals.
The experience is also creative, with participants exchanging personal experiences and insights.
Equally significant is the strong connective component. A supportive and energised setting promotes
peer-to-peer learning through ongoing interchange amongst accomplished female executives.
The program consistently achieves an average delegate rating of 97%.
