A new leadership and management development programme for leaders and managers of projects, organisations and initiatives delivering social change across the North East region. Click here to view an information flyer.
Who is this for?
Leaders and managers of small and medium scale not-for-profit organisations working across the North East region and individuals working independently for social change. The programme is particularly relevant to individuals without a formal leadership and management qualification who are looking for a practical and comprehensive introduction to key leadership and management theories, models, frameworks, tools, techniques and approaches.
How is the programme structured?
• 8 whole days training, one day per month starting end of November 2016, delivered across the North East region.
• Three core themes:
Managing self – personal planning, motivation, knowing yourself, useful tools and techniques (assertiveness, resilience, time management, presentation skills), exploring definitions, theories, models and styles of leadership and management.
Leading and managing others – recruitment and selection, performance management, training and development, teams, interpersonal skills, governance.
Working together – strategic and financial planning, project management, change management, stakeholder management, useful tools and techniques (problem solving, decision making, influencing and persuading, negotiation).
• Part of Day 1 one will involve refining the programme content to meet the needs and interests of the group. Part of Day 8 will involve planning next steps for delegates.
• Workshops will combine different learning tools and processes including workbooks, case studies, guest speakers, assessment tools and other diagnostics, access to models and theories, audio visual material and reading lists. There will be opportunity to progress thinking and learning between workshops. Delegates will also provide a learning resource for each other with opportunities for networking, discussion and practice together.
• Whilst the programme is unaccredited, learning acquired can count towards an ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management) qualification for those looking to progress onto an accredited programme. See next page for more information.
