Powerbrokers: leadership pathways programme has been designed to meet the needs not only of black, Asian and minority ethnic emerging and mid career leaders, but of those who are employed in senior-level executive roles or who are running organisations in senior voluntary capacities. Powerbrokers: leadership pathways programme aims to provide creative professional leadership development opportunities and support-based initiatives which will cater for a broad range of leadership experience. Through structured courses, action learning sets and networking groups, leaders will:
• Share strategies for managing change in a leadership context
• Challenge current thinking
• Support self awareness journeys of leadership possibilities
• Identify powerful leadership tools and share innovative techniques
• Plan for successful outcomes and build sustainable links/networks
Three learning and development initiatives, including two pilot programmes get underway:
1. Strategic Specialist Skills: Leadership and Management Development Days
Run in association with City University, these one-day courses have been designed to develop specialist skills and broaden thinking around leadership and knowledge. The three stand-alone days will focus on increasing competencies such as managing upwards and governance, leading in changing culture, financial leadership, fundraising strategies, communications and media skills, plus finding one’s voice as a leader. Taking place in Manchester and London, the courses commence in November and run through to February 2008.
This opportunity is now CLOSED.
2. Tracking for Success/Powerbrokers Action Learning Sets
Running from December to May 2008, this exciting pilot offers up to 25 leaders the chance to work on their professional and career development over an intense six month period. Tracking for Success/PALS will deliver a focused approach to examining and exploring solutions around coping with leadership dilemmas; leading change and maintaining cultural capital; negotiating and building successful partnerships and delivering messages with impact and influence. The sophisticated on-going facilitated and self-monitoring process, coupled with peer review tools will help define what success will look like for the participating leaders.
This opportunity is now CLOSED.
