Leaders of Tomorrow
Leaders are made, not born.
What is the program?
A 10-hour transformational leadership training program for Nova SBE students, powered by Nova Skills Association.
People spend a great part of their lives in the workplace and for many it is a source of discontentment. As our vision of leadership is a transformational one – we believe great leaders inspire and care about the people they serve – we started this project hoping that it allows students to contribute to a world where work is meaningful, for everyone.
