The British Academy for Training and Development offers a comprehensive Strategic Leadership for Energy Industry training course. Leadership is not a person; leadership is an act. What influences your followers is your action, not your words. Hence, you need to cultivate your leadership power, presence, and purpose so that you can connect and inspire your people toward the desired outcome of the organisation. The connection between effective leadership and organisational strategy is paramount. Once leaders know what they want to achieve, they should strategise and diffuse that vision across the organisation to enhance commitment to action. Organisations can only win competitions and achieve their goals by aligning people with clarity on the targets and maximum utilisation of resources.
