Overview
Welcome to our Imperial Senior Professional Services Cross-Institutional Leadership Development Programme, a transformative journey designed to empower you through experiential learning, skill development, and executive coaching.
The programme supports the enabling strategy roadmap for great people. It will develop inclusive leaders who help people and ideas to thrive and lead spaces centred on wellbeing, growth, and belonging.
Leadership behaviour affects our employee experiences and attitudes to student satisfaction and our overall financial performance. Outstanding professional services leadership can positively impact and provide excellent support to both colleagues and students.
This programme offers hands-on experiences that foster practical understanding and application of leadership principles. Participants will engage in real organisational challenges to develop critical skills for effectively leading in today’s dynamic workplace environment.
Throughout the programme, you will engage in a variety of enriching activities, including a book club to explore key leadership texts and receive insights from subject matter experts who will share their knowledge and experiences.
In your quartet, you will participate in peer-to-peer learning in small, supportive groups with an action learning coach and foster deeper connections with your peers whilst working collaboratively.
Further information
A key highlight of the programme is the intensive one-week residential component, which builds social and peer connections. Participants will undergo a comprehensive 360-degree assessment and receive detailed feedback.
Additionally, you will receive one-to-one executive coaching that offers personalised guidance and support, enabling you to refine your leadership style and maximise your potential. Through tailored feedback and strategic insights, our coaches will help you navigate your leadership path with confidence and clarity, setting the stage for an impactful, evidence-based leadership development experience.
Three key themes are self-effectiveness, team effectiveness, and organisational effectiveness. We encourage you to join this unique opportunity to grow, learn, and lead with purpose.
