Senior Leaders Leadership Development Programme

Leadership workshopThe 2011/12 Leadership Development Programme will comprise three parts:

  1. An induction programme for staff who are relatively new to, or about to take up, a senior leadership role such as Head of School/ Institute/Service/Research Centre, Pro-Dean, Graduate School Director, Faculty/ Service Management Team member.  It is expected that everyone taking up a senior leadership role will participate in this programme.  Existing senior leaders are also welcome to attend any or all of the sessions as an update/refresher.  The programme comprises five seminars and workshops in September and October 2011 focusing on essential aspects of University strategy, policy and procedure.
  2. An update in HR Issues for all senior leadership role holders, on 27 January 2012,
    09.15-13.00
    .
  3. A leadership development programme for all senior leadership role holders (Head of School/Institute/Service/Research Centre, Pro-Dean, Graduate School Director, Faculty/Service Management Team member).  This flexible and individually-tailored programme comprises a mix of psychometric and 360 degree profiling using the Myers Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) and the University Leadership and Management Standard, mentoring, action learning, personal development planning, and optional workshops – details on pages 3-5 below.  Any senior leader who has not already participated in this programme is strongly encouraged to do so.  Anyone who has participated in the past but would like to take a specific element of the programme again – e.g. join an action learning set, re-do a 360 degree profile, attend a workshop etc – will be very welcome.  Please contact Penny Hatton or Paul Heaton in SDDU.
