Core modules

Strategic Leadership is three linked, but discreet days each composed of a number of modules:

Strategic thinking: a hallmark of a successful leader is the ability to think strategically. This day introduces practical uses for newer frameworks from the balanced scorecard to Ansoff's matrix

Transformational leadership: you'll have a 360° assessment on your leadership style using Kouzes and Posner's Leadership Practices Inventory. Through this you'll identify and understand your preferred style – and practise flexibility to transform the way colleagues perceive you as a leader

Integrated change: the final day offers tools to successfully analyse and implement changes in organisational culture and approach, while maintaining personal and team motivation

My director wanted me to become more directly involved in our strategy development so I needed to take my skills to the next level. Having been on a couple of =mc's programmes I was confident that the standard of training for Strategic Leadership would be excellent, and I wasn't dissappointed. Previously I'd treated strategy, leadership and change as seperate management disciplines to be dealt with one at a time. =mc's integrated approach has taught me never to look at these key areas in isolation, but always as part of a whole. For me this 'big picture' approach is what has moved me on from being a good manager to an effective leader.

Neil Binnell, Assistant Director, REACH Supported Living

I’m pleased to say that there has been a lot of progress made in our work since attending Strategic Leadership. The practical tools and models for understanding change and culture have really helped in shaping our strategic plan and vision for the future – and equally important – it enabled me to get others on board.

Nazma Kabir, Regional Director – South Asia & Caribbean, Sightsavers International

=mc’s Strategic Leadership programme provided an excellent framework to drive our strategy forward. Not only that, but there will be a real impact on my own strategic thinking and the performance of my team. Thank you for an excellent 3 days.

Shahida Awan, Head of Quality Assurance, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers

This was an extremely useful three days which enabled me to make direct links between the theories and models we examined and my own environment. It focused my thinking and gave me space to identify the necessary actions to move Conservation forward. Definitely time well spent.
