Brief description

The Human Dimension is currently running a series of leadership programs for leaders at different levels within Forests NSW entitled ‘The Leader Within’.  These programs include individual interviews, a one-week residential workshop, a 360-degree feedback process, followed by six months of personal leadership coaching and a final recall that reviews progress and assesses learning outcomes in the context of the business imperatives.

Program rationale

The leadership program will respond to the key challenges being faced by Forests NSW. It provides an excellent framework for current and emerging leaders to be more effective in today’s complex and changing business environment.  The content and approach have been designed following extensive discussions with Forests NSW, which we continue to hold to ensure The Leader Within Program meets current and emerging needs.
