Hi Michaela I put a similar programme together a few years ago and used a lot of content on Trainers Library. I would start with self-awareness so that as aspiring leaders they can become aware of the impact they have on others and their style. I would look at emotional intelligence and there are some great activities - there is a 2 part activity which I have used. Particularly the one that looks at intensities of emotions. Also changing perceptions and emotions is good. I might also look at understanding leadership styles - there is a fun activity that uses animals as a metaphor for leadership styles - leaders are animals- that has always gone down well. You could build on this with Leadership Identikit which explores the difference between leading and managing which is important to understand. I also used Murder at Glasstap Grange - fantastic for developing communication skills and the need to communicate information clearly. Hope that helps. Clare |

Michaela - I have used the Triangle of Responsibility - the 3 key roles of management under 'Leading for the First Time'. Although this looks at 3 key roles the manager has to do (assumes already managing) I found it ideal for those wanting to move up the ladder. I simply 'twisted' the words in the exercise to ask them what they believed they would need to do in the 3 areas compared to what they now do. This gave them an honest insight for what was ahead - the areas of concentration for a manager, the things that they might be already good at, the things they would need to give up and the areas they would need to work on.
You could take this a stage further and get them to action plan for the areas they would need to focus on and this in turn may give you other bespoke sessions you could, in the future, deliver for them. Food for thought and good luck. Malc |

Hi I would say that there are many great resources on Trainers Library for this type of programme. Topics that I think you should consider would be; - Emotional Intelligence - Communication Skills - Strategic Thinking - Problem Solving - Empowerment & Delegation - Integrity & Ethics - Motivational Skills - Team Building - Diversity, Equality & Inclusion On Trainers Library there is a wealth of resources to support this (in fact you could create the whole programme from there) from icebreakers, case studies, videos, games, to learning materials ready for you to brand and use. I would look at the organisation and ask what it requires from its leaders today and what it will require going forward. Good luck with it. Pauline |
