Questions about the Executive Development Course

What makes this programme different?

Traditional leadership development programmes prepare leaders for a world that is fast disappearing. Leaders today need to cope in an uncertain, volatile, and disruptive environment.  This executive development programme develops in leaders the key skills that are needed for the 21st century leadership arena. Areas such as inclusive leadership, humility, self-awareness, curiosity – both for differing people and ideas – and a willingness to be vulnerable and imperfect are covered.

What is an executive development program?

An executive development program focuses on many aspects of leadership, business and management, the social media environment and the fake news agenda. This program helps professionals develop new and enhance old skills in many areas of business, including areas which they have often not devoted their time to previously.

What does leadership development mean?

Leadership development is a programme that improves the skills, abilities and confidence of leaders.  It also supports leaders in coping with, and driving forward through, the uncertainties of the business world today.

Can leadership skills be developed?

Success in leadership depends on more than technical skills and a willingness to work hard. You also need soft skills, resilience, humility, understanding, a willingness to work with people who don’t think like you, self-belief and confidence. Some people have these skills naturally. They can though be developed with practice, support and application.

What our clients are saying

Simon Mettrick, Director, JPL Ltd.

The executive development programme has made me look at myself in much more detail identifying areas that I could improve. I am now getting through more tasks, better at getting other people to do more things and interacting with people on a more professional level. I would highly recommend this course for all people in senior roles, especially if going through a change process or have issues within the business.

Thank you again for your support and developing the teambuilding programme for the Private Finance Intitative. It was well received by both the Manchester Council and the Amey management teams. More importantly the outcomes were in line with what was wanted with greater cooperation and stronger working relationships.
