The programme concentrates on middle and senior leaders within your organisation and is intended to provide a stimulating and stretching environment for them to develop as leaders.

This development programme will involve 5 modules, with each module 6 weeks apart to allow the participants to fully integrate the learning back into their work environment. Each module is 2 days in duration and can be run on or off site. All modules within this programme are highly interactive and participative; participants are expected to fully interact with each other and the facilitator to gain most benefit from the modules.

As with all of our learning events this programme can be tailored to suit your exact requirements.

Module 1 - Leading Yourself

• Development of Self Awareness and Emotional Intelligence using JTI © and 15FQ+ Personality Instruments
  • Research carried out by Daniel Golmen has shown that when he compared star performers with average performers in senior leadership positions, he found that nearly 90% of the difference in their profiles was attributed to emotional intelligence factors.  JTI is currently used by Cranfield Universities ‘Centre for Customised Executive Development’.
• Fundamental principles of leadership
• What is the difference between Leaders and Managers?
• Exploration of the various styles of Leadership
• Action Learning Groups
  • Based on the research and work carried out by Reg Revans, participants will be encouraged to form Action Learning Groups

Module 3 - Guest Speakers and Performance Improvement

• To supplement the leadership programme the use of guest speakers allow your leaders to gain new insights into current academic research on leadership as well as the passage of information on best practice within different areas of public bodies such as the NHS and Universities.
• Day 2 of this module looks at how performance plays a vital role within organisations and uses research carried out by Prof John Purcell of Bath University to demonstrate this.

Module 4 - Leading and Developing Others

• Conflict and how to manage it within yourself and your team
• Coaching using the GROW model (Goals / Reality / Options / What will you do)
  • Coaching is seen as vital to the improvement of individuals; and thus organisations. The skills and techniques that go into a being successful coach are varied and many.

Module 5 - Managing Change

• Managing Change within your organisation
  • Change management entails thoughtful planning and sensitive implementation, and above all, consultation with, and involvement of, the people affected by the changes.
• Change and Project Management Technique
  • If you force change on people normally problems arise. Change must be realistic, achievable and measurable. These aspects relate strongly to the management of personal as well as organisational change.

Delivery

A ‘cohort’ within learning development can be defined as a group of people with a common characteristic or set of characteristics, which progress through a programme of development together. They are able to offer support and encouragement to each other.

During the intervening weeks from module to module it is expected that each cohort will form Action Learning Groups to allow them to interact and learn from each other.

Each cohort would follow the programme as a separate group. Using this method will allow a wide range of Group Projects to be established to allow the cohort to develop as individuals, as a team and to allow the completion of a current project within the organisation.

We work in partnership with Rubus Consultants to deliver this workshop.
