Module description

The module seeks to develop successful senior leaders who have a high level of self-awareness, who lead their team by example while developing a supporting environment of trust and of challenge and who act in the interest of their organisation and for the greater good of their customers and the society. To develop successful leaders in a complex and challenging external environment, the module content includes three personal development perspectives: Self– knowing yourselves’ actions and effectiveness, Others– understanding how we influence others, and finally Organisation– understanding our contribution and impact within and beyond the organisation. The content of the module assists personal reflection, particularly in support of individual discussion and personal development planning processes, assists in changing your behaviours to perform better in your current roles, as well as provides support you in your career progression and recognition. Grounded in your reality and applied in the workplace, the module aims to provide the balance between learning the theory and putting it into practice. The module empowers participants by taking an student-led and peer-to-peer learning approach to turn your success into constant team success and to champion compassionate performance as a senior leader.  

Module aims - intentions of the module

This module runs concurrently with the core modules in the Foundations of Senior Leadership programme.  In it you will create a journal of your learning across the programme supported with a portfolio of examples from your working practice of how you have applied that learning in your workplace.  This portfolio will form an essential part of the end point assessment of your apprenticeship and is a valuable way of reflecting on and embedding knowledge and skills as you learn.
