Delivered by the University’s experienced Staff Development team, the programme addresses leadership in three overlapping levels. At the core, foundational level, is personal leadership: understanding your own behaviours and actions, and what leadership means for you. Next is how you lead in relation to others; how you communicate, interact, direct and influence to build your team. The outer level is leadership in a wider context, taking an organisational view on how your role as a leader can support the achievement of your team through motivating and engaging them to succeed.
