Leading in a Time of Change
Good leadership is essential to any successful business and during times of change it can be difficult to inspire your team. With the new Feeds Regulations set to be published in early 2023, significant change is just around the corner for our industry.

You will take away tools to improve your leadership abilities, and better comprehend how to understand, predict and influence how your employees behave.
