Leadership Development programme

About the Essential Leadership programme

This programme offers a detailed introduction to leadership development. It encourages you to unlock your potential as a leader by developing your understanding of leadership principles.
 
As such, it’s an ideal opportunity for new or potential leaders, or those whose businesses are at an early stage of growth.

Structure

The programme is delivered over three months, through the following stages:

• Pre-programme onboarding — during this first stage diagnostics, including a 360, will be undertaken with each participant. The diagnostic results will be discussed and actions to take forward will be identified and agreed.
• Learning phase — these facilitated sessions will allow like-minded individuals to come together to learn, experience, support, challenge, and inspire each other.
• Post-programme support and implementation — this stage takes the form of a half-day session dedicated to forward action planning. With your sponsor, you'll review what you've learned, track your progress to date, and create an action plan with next steps.
• Coaching — finally, you will have four hours of coaching with a qualified coach to further develop you as a leader. The focus of this session can be on either business or personal development.

What’s involved

The programme will focus on the following:

• Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a leader
• Developing your self-awareness and impact as a leader
• Understanding how implementing fair work in the organisation can have a positive impact on your people and business performance
• Developing your ability to encourage employee voice
• Learning how to create a culture where leaders don't always have the answers and employees make decisions

This programme is subsidised by Scottish Enterprise.

The price for each participant is £700 plus VAT.
