Leadership

   
 

To ensure our long-term sustainability and to strategically position the importance of enhancing the organisation’s leadership effectiveness, we have developed a 360-degree leadership development process that:

  • measures our leaders’ behaviour against agreed effectiveness criteria; and
     
  • addresses areas for development at an individual, team and organisational level.

In 2004, 327 executive and senior managers completed the 360-degree leadership development process, having received feedback from about 3 500 of their managers, peers and subordinates. During 2005, all remaining executive and senior managers in the group will complete the process in their working teams.

The table below shows the different types of leadership programmes offered within the group.
