Entering leadership can be a daunting prospect. The purpose of this course is to support aspiring or relatively new leaders to the world of leadership. It will not provide a list of how to lead, it will however aim to develop a new leader’s capacity to lead, ability to support others, and to become a more reflective practitioner. Throughout the day there will be a focus on the importance of reflection and of recognising that good leadership is rooted in building excellent relationships.
