The Leadership and Management Academy’s Strategic Leaders Programme is now open for applications.

We’re pleased to announce that applications are now open for the next cohort of the Leadership and Management Academy’s Strategic Leaders Programme.

The Strategic Leaders programme is designed for you if you’re leading at a strategic level, and want to develop your leadership skills further. You can apply for this programme now on Moodle.

The Strategic Leaders Programme is all about broadening your horizons as a strategic leader. As well as considering the challenges and issues that our University is facing, you’ll get the opportunity to consider the wider sector, policy and global challenges that are shaping our present and future environment.

In broad terms, this programme will be right for you if you are operating in a strategic cross-University role, probably at L7 or potentially L6. This programme is designed for staff from all job families at these levels.

Delegates on the current cohort have told us that: “The Strategic Leaders Programme has given me time and space to reflect in my leadership” and “it has provided an opportunity to meet peers from a range of University contexts in a safe but challenging space – providing an opportunity to work with them and learn from them.”

This programme combines blended learning, personal diagnostics, one-to-one executive coaching, the application of learning in practice through a work based project, and the opportunity to learn with your peers from across different areas of the University.

The deadline for applications is Monday 30 October. You can find out more and apply on Moodle.

Further programmes and development tools

The Stepping into Leadership and Aspiring Leaders Programmes are also open for applications until Monday 30 October. These programmes are aimed at early career leaders, who are looking to get into or are currently in their first leadership role at the University.

You can find out more about these programmes and our coaching and mentoring opportunities on the LMA Hub on Moodle, or by contacting a member of the Leadership and Management Team.

There’s also a huge range of on-line learning resources available for all staff to access on the Learning and Resources page of the LMA Hub. From performance management and emotional intelligence to personal impact and managing stress, there’s a range of topics to choose from, so even if you’re not looking to come on a programme you can find something to help you develop today.
