Leaders Plus is for people already in leadership roles (e.g. Senior Managers, Heads of Service, Associate Directors depending on type of entity), and is designed to help participants manage increased risk and responsibility. It aims to:
- Hone skills and confidence in leadership, stakeholder work and change management.
- Translate leadership theory to real-world use, especially for place strategy and delivery.
- Provide a safe space to discuss the difficult questions arising in senior roles.
- Build candidates’ peer and senior networks across organisations and sectors.
These goals are delivered through a blend of mentoring, leadership skills, expert insight, strategy-focused field trips and networking. The nine-month programme culminates in participants presenting small-group proposals for tackling a key urban challenge to an audience of mentors, senior course presenters and sector experts.
