Leadership development which delivers results Available to Purchase

This paper describes a programme of leadership development which has been developed and delivered by an organisation development specialist and a senior line manager. It offers a blend of soft and hard skills, academic and practical approaches, and learning partnerships which use participants’ own experience to reinforce the relevance of learning. The programme aims to offer participants more choices and flexibility about how they tackle not only tasks and situations, but also more importantly relationships – handling people differently. It also provides participants with opportunities to explore their own values and identity as leaders. The programme is appropriate for team development, preparing for management of change and for helping individuals to work at the next higher level of management. It can readily be tailored to the needs of most groups. Quantitative and qualitative evidence of the results of the course are detailed.
