Description Developing competitive advantage in a globalised business context demands that leaders recognise the imperative of managing stakeholders during periods of significant and complex organisational strategic change.The focus of 'Emerging Leaders' is the development of skills and knowledge that underpins capacities for successful strategic partnering both within and outside the organisation. Engaging with the research and debates on leadership as they relate to current leadership practice and principles in various international and organisational contexts means these newly emerging leaders will be in a position to lead and ensure the performance of individuals, teams and organisations.
