Programme Objectives
The aim of this programme is to equip the student with the skills and self-awareness needed to become an effective and value-adding leader.
By the end of the programme, the student should have:
- A deeper understanding of their own behavioural patterns, strengths, areas for development, communication style, decision-making tendencies and motivational drivers, and be able to apply this self-awareness in professional settings.
- Enhanced interpersonal and leadership skills, including the ability to build strong working relationships, communicate effectively, receive and apply feedback constructively, navigate challenging conversations and contribute positively within teams.
- A clearer understanding of the personal qualities and behaviours that underpin successful leadership, including resilience, adaptability, judgement, accountability and the ability to add value across different teams, functions and professional situations.
Proposed Structure
The programme will be developed collaboratively, using six-week masterclass sprints followed by two weeks dedicated to embedding and demonstrating learning.
Short research or development tasks may be set between sessions to encourage independent reflection and ensure the programme remains student-led and focused on delivering meaningful value.
Please ensure you answer all of the screening questions, as applications submitted without responses will not be considered.
