The program “Leadership Experience Group: Reflections on Leadership. Development and Support of Leaders in Conditions of Uncertainty and Rapid Change.” has started October 12.

The program “Leadership Experience Group: Reflections on Leadership. Developing and Supporting Leadership in Conditions of Uncertainty and Rapid Change” is an opportunity to exchange experience, both Ukrainian and foreign, receive psychological support, strengthen strengths, leadership qualities, and find new approaches in your activities and interactions with other people.
 
We opened the Program this weekend with an event on the topic: “Support for leaders, managers, and people who have influence — developing and maintaining the ability to work with complexity and uncertainty.”
 
Leaders from the public, private, and public sectors gathered for the meeting. Since we had a women's group, we decided to additionally explore the topic of female leadership in Ukraine and abroad.
