The Leadership programme
The Leadership programme at Henley is designed to help you develop your personal leadership skills. You will learn to inspire and lead others by understanding yourself, how you relate to the people you work with and your own leadership context.
Programme content
The highly practical, six-day Leadership Programme explores leadership and your relationship to it with the emphasis on raising workplace performance. We believe leadership is a very personal challenge so you will be asked to complete psychometric profiles and a bespoke 360° feedback instrument based on Henley's own leadership research. During the intensive, five-day residential programme time will be spent in small groups and one to one exploring the implications of these for your leadership effectiveness. You will be introduced to a range of leadership models reflecting current thinking at Henley and elsewhere and you will apply these to your own situation. Some ten weeks after the residential programme the group comes together for a sixth day to review the experience of delivering a personal development plan for practical change back in the workplace and to set future goals.
The learning process includes lectures, discussion groups, case studies, coaching, individual feedback, team and group based activities and experiences.
Who is the programme for?
Directors and senior managers with five or more years' experience leading individuals or teams in the public or private sector. Participants are likely to be measured in terms of their effectiveness in influencing others throughout the organisation.
Benefits to the individual
