This course has taught me to manage my time more effectively and to be able to work with different personalities, which had a big impact on both my work and my personal life.

First of all I would like to say the MDP is an amazing an journey to a new world of greatness. As leaders in our development leadership journey we never actively nor consciously think about the changes we are embarking on and as such we always stick to the same recipes even when the recipe does not fit the new menu.The MDP gave me insightful awareness which has geared me up to achieve the required current and future operational and strategic outcomes in my organisation.

This course has the ability to incorporate all types of models to achieve being a leader, as well as grow future leaders. It is an exceptionally beneficial course, and I would highly recommend it, simply because you have the ability to become a leader yourself and the opportunity to grow future leaders.
