After an introductory session and induction, you will participate in a workshop that examines the role of leadership in achieving organisational goals. You then complete an online diagnostic to learn about your emotional intelligence (EQ-I 2.0) and gain one to one feedback from a qualified trainer. In the workshops, you discover how being an emotionally intelligent leader and enhanced knowledge of leadership theories can help you to be more effective and adaptable for changing scenarios.

You will review your own ability to set direction, communicate, motivate, delegate and empower your workforce. Each stage challenges you to create actions and implement changes to your leadership style that will improve your ability to develop and lead teams towards the organisation’s vision for the future.

Prior to each workshop, you will be asked to complete some pre-work which may involve reading or a questionnaire to complete, thus ensuring that you maximise the interactive nature of the workshop. Tailored support is offered for the assessment via a tutorial.

Duration

The course includes a mixture of 5 ‘live’ online workshops and self-paced learning activities. The ‘live’ sessions are facilitated workshops and involve participants working together on collaborative activities. These sessions typically last 2.5 hours. Participants are expected to complete the self-paced learning activities between ‘live’ sessions. Typically, it takes around 2 hours to complete each activity.

Further information

The course will be delivered on Microsoft Teams.

Your assessment is comprised of one written assessment of approximately 3000 words.

If you wish to extend the breadth of units at level 5, it is possible to progress to a Certificate, once the Award is successfully complete.
