CMI Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership

The CMI Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership consists of two assignments which is Strategic leadership and Implementing organisational change strategies, the first of which involves delegates developing the skills of the strategic leader and the second in driving through change in your respective organisation post course.

Developing your leadership capability?
Becoming a more effective leader involves delegates in a complex process of changing behaviours, based on an understanding of leadership and on the development of a range of personal and interpersonal skills.

Simply understanding what leadership involves, or developing insight into the effect of one’s own emotional state or values on decision-making, or being good at communicating with others is not sufficient, although each is a necessary component of any leadership role.

It is the synthesis of this that enables effective leaders to recognise the effect of their own behaviours on other people and on the organisation, and to manage those behaviours to achieve the goals that they have agreed.

Our CMI Level 7 Award and Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership development programmes place great emphasis on developing this ability; if you are to continue to improve your performance beyond the programme – hence the results driven focus.

Developing your leadership capability is an important characteristic of all successful leaders that they can reflect on their experiences and learn from them – effective leaders are not afraid of making mistakes, only of repeating mistakes.

This ability, to learn and develop, is integral to CMI Level 7 Award and Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership.
