Leading people, leading teams

Effective leadership and high performing teams are key factors in successful schools. People are a school’s main asset and in today’s increasingly complex school environment, leading and managing others effectively is crucial for school effectiveness. This three session course, relevant both for teaching and non-teaching staff, will help you as a leader/manager, or aspiring leader, to learn more about your own leadership style and how it impacts on others and the key drivers that can help motivate individuals and teams to perform to their best.

The course combines theory with relevant practical activity to give you a sound underpinning of the theory and practice of managing and leading others.

During the programme you will:
• identify effective leadership styles and practices;
• recognise the difference between leadership and management and how different
styles impact on performance;
• reflect on your own leadership traits and inter-personal skills, helping you to better
understand how to lead people;
• learn what makes a good leader;
• learn how to motivate individuals to willingly expend effort on a task;
• understand how to develop and influence others;
• understand how to lead challenging conversations that make a positive difference;
• gain a better understanding of differing personalities and what motivates them;
• understand how teams develop over time and how to build supportive and effective
teams;
• recognise and understand different team roles and their importance in effective team
building;
• learn how to lead groups to deliver objectives and outcomes.
