Our Excelling in Team Leadership programme is essential development for managers with experience of managing a team or project, or aspiring managers who want to develop into a management role.
Our unique programme fully aligns to the Level 3 Team Leader or Supervisor apprenticeship programme meaning you can use the Apprenticeship Levy to fund your management development.
Excelling in Team Leadership Programme is suitable for people working in roles such as Supervisors, Team Leaders or Project Officers.
Their key responsibilities may include:
The first part of the ‘Excelling in Team Leadership’ journey kicks off with asking you to help each other out in discovering what you are good at.
The greatest leaders you will ever work with are those that have a good level of self-awareness. Here you will explore techniques to help you to reflect on your own strengths and performance/development needs as well as your individual learning styles.
Part of a manager’s job is to solve problems and make tough decisions. In the final part of Leading self, you will explore a range of problem-solving and decision-making techniques and apply them to real-life complex workplace scenarios.
Relationships are integral to all aspects of a successful organisation. Here you will explore customer & stakeholder management and your understanding of emotional intelligence for building trust and conflict management scenarios.
Effective managers need to understand their teams. Every team has a combination of behaviours, values and attitudes and here you will explore team dynamics, different motivational techniques and a range of performance management techniques.
Managers need to be able to lead their people. It is important to understand your own leadership styles and how those styles interact with one another.
Projects play a key part in the workplace, from small scale projects lasting just a few days, right up to multi-million pound adventures that define careers.

I can honestly say I have much more confidence and my team are happier and more productive. We are far more open with each and conflict just isn’t as scary anymore. I only wish I had done this programme sooner, it has literally turned my life round and my teams.
Penny
Programme Learner
This programme has been extremely valuable for me personally. It has taught me some great tools to combat some of my biggest challenges such as time management. I have also learned a great deal about myself and have been able to self reflect on a lot of my behaviours. I feel that I have a whole new sense of awareness which transcends to how I perceive others now too. In all honesty, if it wasn’t for my development coach pushing me, forcing me to face my challenges and tackle them head-on, I would not be where I am today.

Everyone that finds themselves in a management position should do this course – it has been a life saver for me and answered a lot of questions I had. if I had know half of what I know now I would have been a better manager from the beginning.
