Programme Outline

Module 1 – Leadership, Management and You

Exploring the characteristics and differences of leadership and management. Developing self-awareness and an understanding of your impact in creating workplace culture through behavioural style testing, recognising our own strengths, weaknesses and ‘blind spots’ and how this contributes to increased Emotional Intelligence.

In this workshop we will gain an understanding of different leadership styles, examining your own natural style of leadership and how to be flexible in your approach. We will explore situational leadership theory and practice techniques to support effective leadership and development of others.

Module 3 – What is Inclusive Leadership?

Developing a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. We will explore how to embrace inclusive leadership through an appreciation of difference; looking at behavioural styles, and compassionate leadership, linked to the work of Prof Michael West and the NHS People Promise.

Module 4 – Conducting Courageous Conversations

In the workshop we will be focusing on how to conduct meaningful, coaching style conversations that are inclusive and compassionate in the workplace to enable others.

Module 5 – Leading Beyond Boundaries

Developing, building, and managing relationships within the broader community of care.
