The Foundations of Leadership Programme, for new and mid-level leaders, develops five core leadership skills: emotional intelligence, communication, building relationships, developing self and others, and planning and organising.
We want our emerging leaders to get hands-on experience so the learning is 10% taught, 20% learning from others and 70% learning through doing.
You’ll start by assessing your current performance with a one-to-one with your manager, some intro videos, pre-course reading, light touch psychometric testing and 360° feedback.
You’ll then go into three days of classroom learning looking at strategy, self-awareness, self-regulation and social awareness. After this you’ll spend six weeks applying this learning on the job, supported by your manager and peer coaches. You’ll keep a learning log and reflect on what you’re learning as you go. This is followed by two further days of classroom learning looking further at social awareness as well as relationship and business management.
