Overview

Amid the current business climate, there’s growing recognition that there needs to be a fundamental shift from a focus on financial gains to an emphasis on creating value for society.

The University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business (GSB) Values-Based Leadership professional certificate will introduce you to what it means to be a leader with solid values. It’s designed to help you create a world-class, values-driven organization, and cultivate a business culture of sincerity, loyalty, and self-sufficiency to enhance team productivity. You’ll learn what it takes to steer a company through the Management by Values (MBV) approach, and acquire strategies to become a more effective leader that empowers and motivates others around a shared purpose.
