Developing the Leader
About the courses
“Leadership is hard to define as everyone has their own ideas about what makes a good leader, and the traits that one should possess.”
—Social Enterprise Academy
Developing the Leader is a series of one day training events offered for those working in leadership roles, including Befriending Co-ordinators, team leaders and senior managers. The first day is built around a self-assessment framework, enabling participants to identify their strengths and key areas for development. An action plan for short and medium term development is created during this session, and supported through the duration of the course.
The content for the remaining two sessions is agreed with the group members, in order that their learning and development needs are addressed as far as is possible. Topics covered in previous courses include monitoring and evaluation, skills for effective supervision, managing change, time management, leadership, strategic planning and fundraising. It is also possible for the group to offer an opportunity for case-supervision through Action Learning Sets.
“When staff have been in post for some years they can be unsure of what training will be of value to them – yet this is exactly the time to reflect and look ahead.”
