Goals of the leadership and management course
We’ve often been asked what participants can expect to gain from our leadership development training.
In a nutshell, we aim to develop stronger, happier relationships between managers and teams. This is achieved through learning about:
-
more effective communication
-
delegation
-
conflict resolution skills
-
greater awareness of colleagues’ needs and how they may impact your business

better use of everyone’s abilities to help your workplace run more effectively and efficiently
Your specific organisational goals, culture and values will be built into the Programme.
“Jo was really knowledgeable and the activities we did could easily be translated into the workplace” Sam Wilson, Senior Designer, BetVictor
“I found course really interesting…helped break down a lot of barriers and I now feel more confident to face difficult conversations. It also validated a lot of what I do.” Raquel Moss, Hassans
How is the course delivered?
You’ll be glad to know there are no boring Powerpoints! As Benjamin Franklin famously said: “Tell me and I’ll forget, teach me and I may remember, show me and I’ll learn.” This is very much our ethos with our leadership training programme.
We combine 8 half-day, interactive workshops with an abundance of self-reflection, 1:1 coaching, practical assignments, and a participant learning journal. The workshop activities are designed to draw out specific learning objectives and we use real-life leadership and management scenarios and case studies that are relevant to your industry.

What is leadership and management development?
In every organisation, the relationship between a jobholder and their manager is key, yet still many people find themselves in leadership positions because of their length of service or technical ability, rather than their interpersonal skills. Leadership and management development helps managers (or potential managers) hone these skills so they are better able to:
-
focus their people and give them scope
-
coach and stretch their teams
-
recognise and reward them
-
confront dysfunctional situations.
Improving their leadership skills also helps them become more approachable and available when needed, and give regular support to their colleagues to help them achieve their own personal and organisational objectives.
Why is it important?
If the key relationships the managers have are strong, teams and workplaces will thrive and develop through the energy, commitment and creativity of their people. Employees who feel their company is invested in their careers are likely to stay longer and work harder. Plus, providing targeted workplace training enables participants to become more versatile and increase their contributions to the firm— a benefit for everyone.
How to improve leadership skills
There are many resources for developing leadership skills available for free. However, participating in a small, focused group of colleagues from the same organisation is, based on our experience, the most effective way to do improve leadership skills in the workplace. Without exception, all previous delegates have mentioned the substantial benefit of being able to discuss common, company-specific issues in a safe, confidential environment.
This course is particularly effective at developing leadership skills in employees as the group dictates the pace and we allow plenty of time to discuss the most relevant topics. We have the flexibility to change the course content as it progresses if it becomes apparent that certain leadership skills are needed more than others.
We also aim to build a strong, supportive group, which can continue to meet once the Programme has ended.
What are the general themes of the leadership training workshops in this course?
We will work with you if there is something specific you would like to incorporate but generally the workshops focus on the following topics:
