The programme is both practical and engaging, using international case studies, toolkits and tactics in experience-based tasks mixed with inputs on different aspects of leading and leadership.

Testimonials

Here is what some participants shared in the anonymous survey following the LDP:

“The main takeaway for me from this workshop is an understanding of my own self and an appreciation of the context and constraints under which every actor in an organisation operates. I believe this will help me become a more effective and empathetic leader in the future”.

“I see this as a powerful professional development factor, developing an inventory of effective leadership skills and knowledge, to be able to apply those effectively as required in situational contexts”.

“If I were to choose one word about this programme, it would be support. Throughout the programme, I felt that I had a lot of support from the instructor as well as from the group. The area that I enjoyed the most and will use in practice is facilitating meetings”.

Enhancing Programme Leadership (by AdvanceHE) is an online programme designed to support Programme Leads/Chairs in gaining confidence in their leadership skills.
