Leadership & Management Development Programme

The LMDP helps leaders and managers - and those aspiring to such roles - to develop the capabilities they need to play their part in ensuring the future success of the University. All elements of the programme are underpinned by the University's Leadership Model (see below).

The programme focuses on practical on-the-job development, with a strong emphasis on collaborative working and peer support. Participants are actively encouraged to share strategies and solutions to day-to-day leadership/management issues, and help each other to identify their own strengths and development needs.

For HODs, full details of the programme and supporting advice and guidance suitable for HODs can be found in our customised Leadership Toolkit.  Within the toolkit you will also find full details of the Summer 2008 Leadership Management Development Programme.

 The values and key capabilities described in the Leadership Model emerged from a range of conversations held with senior managers, heads of department, staff groups and governors during 2006-7. It is therefore very much grounded in our University community and has not been imposed on us by any external agency or consultancy. The full version as a pdf is available by clicking the link above or accessing the Leadership Toolkit. The toolkit and the pdf also contain the ‘Manager Responsibilities’ – which set out the basic capabilities expected of all those who carry a leadership or management role.
