Course Content

Induction - 21 November 2024 (09:00-16:30)

The course consists of two modules as follows:

Principles of Leadership Practice - 28 November 2024 (09:00-16:30) & 05 December 2024 (09:00-16:30)

The aim of this unit is to develop managers’ understanding of ethical leadership and the impact of culture and values on leadership. Managers will examine leadership models and the concept of empowerment, with consideration of techniques and methods for leading others.

Managing Performance - 23 January 2025 (09:00-16:30) & 06 February 2025 (09:00-16:30)

Managing the performance of staff is essential to the smooth running of an organisation. This unit evaluates the reasons for managing performance and the approaches that can be used. It explores methods of rewarding the performance of individuals who exceed expectations, and analyses ways of managing under performance in a professional and supportive manner. This unit focuses on the way performance management, when used effectively, is able to impact on individual and organisational achievement.

Students benefit from comprehensive lecture materials, tutor support for each module and a one-to-one development tutorial.

In addition to the workshops you will be expected to spend approximately 20-25 hours self-studying per unit.
