"LEADERSHIP IS THE CAPACITY TO TRANSLATE VISION INTO REALITY"
WARREN BENNIS
The Senior Leader Development Programme comprises six interactive workshops, either onsite or live online, where delegates will work with other senior leaders from their organisation.
The workshops are highly interactive and use experiential learning to help clarify leadership goals and how to achieve them. Regular action learning groups are scheduled to discuss issues and insights in greater detail and to share best practice.
As part of the programme, the following self-awareness and analysis support is provided:
3 X 1 TO 1 COACHING SESSIONS
Between each workshop, every delegate will receive a 90-minute individual coaching session with a lead tutor who will support them to achieve their specific confidential goals and overcome their unique challenges.
360-DEGREE FEEDBACK
Delegates will each receive a detailed 360-degree feedback report to help raise levels of self-awareness, determine their preferred working style, understand how they come across to others and what aspects of their leadership style they may need to adapt to best effect.
STRENGTHSCOPE® REPORTS
The globally recognised psychometric assessment Strengthscope® is used to help each delegate understand and play to key strengths within their role and how to utilise these most effectively to make them happier, motivated and more engaged.
Access to the Xenonex online portal is also provided where supporting materials, resources, articles, and video recordings of each of the workshops are available.
