High Performance Leadership

ILM Level 5 Certificate Leadership and Management

Who should attend our High Performance Leadership course?

Our 5-day High Performance Leadership course is suitable for managers, leaders and heads of departments who want to apply techniques and devise strategies to create a high performance team. It is a practical course where we will blend theory with practical, using employee engagement diagnostics to understand the culture where you work (and in your own team) and the Forte Communication Styles Profile to explore how you can build a high performance culture.

Course Prerequisites

This course is suitable for managers and leaders who have some experience in their role. It is also preferable that delegates can demonstrate their ability to complete assignments and coursework, normally through the achievement of other qualifications at Level 3 or 4. Prior training and knowledge of leadership will be assumed. We are happy to discuss this with anyone interested in this course and is not sure if they meet these prerequisites.

Approach & Course Outline

Approach

Participants will benefit from a course and approach designed to be responsive to their needs. We don’t like an ‘off-the-shelf’ approach, instead preferring to carry out a pre-course discovery activity to uncover what the group needs from the course. Then we adapt our course to meet these needs – no two courses are ever exactly the same.

Throughout the course, participants will benefit from a highly interactive approach, designed to be challenging but also to continually adapt and respond to the learners.

Participants will enjoy the benefits of a highly experienced ILM practitioner as their tutor on this course (see below). He provides detailed guidance, advice and feedback, supporting each individual participant towards successful achievement of this qualification.
