New to Leadership: How to Manage People and Lead Change Effectively

New to Leadership – Course Aim

If you are just stepping into a new leadership role – whether middle or senior – this unique training course will equip you to manage that transition and develop the skillset that you need to make a positive impact.

Change is always challenging. And in school life the pressure is always on. If you’re stepping into someone else’s shoes or taking on a new challenge there will inevitably be resistance from some as you begin to do things differently whilst also finding your feet. This course will help you understand the different talents and energies within your team and provide you with a framework for leading them effectively.

Before this course you will receive your own unique GC Index link to complete an online assessment. During the training you will receive your personalised report and gain an understanding of the kind of leader you are, what energises you and how you can make your best impact in your school. You will also gain an understanding of the other people likely to be operating within your new team – and techniques for harnessing and utilising those energies effectively.

We’ll discuss a range of approaches to leadership and management and you’ll gain a variety of strategies to consider and implement as you build a dynamic and game-changing team – as effectively and painlessly as possible! Expect to be both challenged and inspired.
