Leadership and Management
Our core leadership programme, The Leadership Difference, is centred on developing self-awareness, enabling you to build positive and supportive relationships and have powerful conversations to engage and help your colleagues.
From here our Interactive Leadership Landscape will help you practice and develop your mastery of compassionate, inclusive, and authentic leadership in a rapidly changing world.

From 2022, all successful delegates from our Leadership Difference programme will be offered a place in our Leadership Academy. The Academy will centre on a Community of Practice of both Professional Services and Academic leaders, linking up with other leaders in the sector and beyond and featuring development opportunities, mentoring and coaching tuned to the needs of our leaders across the University.
Our core leadership development programme for Academic and Professional Services leaders is our award-winning Leadership Difference. The programme promotes a professional and supportive leadership community and recognises the role of leadership in enabling our institutional ambitions and embedding our values.
