Are you at the start of your career? Looking to take the next step with the University?  A new development programme for aspiring leaders could be just what you need…

We’re now pleased to announce that we’re accepting nominations for the Aspiring Leaders development programme.

This programme is for any member of staff who’s thinking about taking on their first leadership role. So if you’re looking for that first role as a leader, or if you’ve been identified as potential leadership talent, this programme will give you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills and deepen your understanding of what leadership means for the University.

You can join the programme through our nomination process, which is open from today until Friday 10 February 2017. Find out more by following this link:

Aspiring Leaders Programme

This programme is being launched as part of the wider Leadership and Management Academy, which has been established to support staff and develop existing and future leaders at all levels, across all job families, providing a comprehensive range of learning and development activities.

If you’re already in a leadership role we have two other programmes currently open for nominations:

• Future Leaders: This programme is aimed at existing leaders who want to make the step up from managing small teams to larger departments, schools or research groups, transitioning from manager to leader. Nominations for Future Leaders are open until Friday 16 December.

• Stepping into Leadership: This programme is aimed at staff who are in their first leadership role, and are leading smaller teams or projects for the first time. Nominations for Stepping into Leadership are open until Tuesday 13 January.

You can find out more about both these programmes by visiting the LMA Hub, or if these aren’t the programmes for you, or you’re after help right now, you can access our catalogue of learning resources for leaders. You’ll find all this and more by visiting nottingham.ac.uk/lma and clicking on the LMA Hub.

The last programme to launch in this round of nominations will be our Strategic Leaders Programme. We’ll be opening it for nominations in the New Year, so look out for an announcement on this soon.
