ILM Level 3 Leadership & Management provides you with the opportunity to:

This programme is led by #WECAN delivery lead Kim Sanderson. Kim has over 25 years’ experience of teaching in further education and prior to working at Leeds Beckett University, worked in retail and further education sectors leading and managing teams.
Kim will guide you through four 3-hour workshops which will be delivered online via MS Teams. Workshops involve a mix of tutor input, practical activities, and small group work in break out rooms, giving you the opportunity to network with other women working in SMEs.
Each workshop covers the following objectives:
Workshop 1: Onboarding and leadership qualities
- Define the qualities of an effective leader
- Explain key leadership models
- Assess own leadership behaviour
- Create actions to enhance your own leadership behaviour
Workshop 2: Leadership styles
- Compare different leadership styles

- Explain positive and negative effect of style on individuals and team
Workshop 3: Communicating vision & strategy to the team
- Explain the importance of the team working towards the same vision
- Discuss the role of communication in establishing a common sense of purpose
- Assess the effectiveness of your communication skills
Workshop 4: Motivating and developing the team
- Describe motivational factors at work in different situations
- Explain importance of a leader motivating the team
- Discuss how a leader can support and develop individuals
There will be activities to complete after each workshop to prepare for an assignment or the next workshop and you will be supported by Kim throughout the programme.
There will be an induction to the ILM awarding body in the onboarding session. For completion of the Award, there are two 1500 word written assignments.
Tutorial guidance is built into each session and this enables you to work independently on your assignment outside of the workshops.
