Emerging Leaders project presentations
Emerging Leaders, Interrelate’s six-month development program, aims to assist emerging leaders to understand what leadership is as well as their own leadership style and how this can
be used to lead and motivate others. It is delivered in a blended learning format, commencing with two days of face-to-face workshops followed by an on-the-job workplace project.
On May 10, 2017, the participants from the 2016-17 program came together to present their workplace projects to the Executive Team and Area Managers.
