Strategic leadership for growth
Many social enterprises find managing rapid and/or inconsistent periods of growth challenging. Ensuring your organisation has the right people around the table making informed, ethical and thoughtful decisions will support your organisation to flourish in any environment.
In this webinar, the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) will discuss the principles and best practices of leadership and decision making, including how effective risk management, combined with solid policies and procedures, lead to better outcomes for your community and your customers.
