Leading in social organisations is a complex and challenging task, and as research tells us great leaders are made and not born. This means that you have to attend to your ongoing development alongside that of your team or organisation.
At SociaLed we know that being a great leader means having the emotional intelligence and reflective skills to attend to your leadership thoughtfully. Our support of your leadership aims to enable your development as a great social leader bringing greater social change to our society. See below for some of the ways we can help, get in touch to discuss your needs…
Emerging & Inspiring Social
Leader
ESL: As practitioners grow into leadership roles, or we recruit leaders from outside of the sector it becomes essential to give them the skills and qualities they need to undertake these demanding roles.
ISL: Sharing the same research narrative as ESL but through the lens of senior leadership, this course is a valuable part of your ongoing development, focussing on systems, trauma-responsiveness, and your development of emotionally intelligent self-awareness. You’ll develop the confidence to lead well and most importantly be well.
These courses can be brought into your setting to help whole leadership teams develop skills and knowledge, or you can join one of our bi-annual courses.
Chief Executive Mentoring
Leaders are made, not born. So says the Harvard University research that defined Adaptive Leadership. In order to keep growing in our leadership a trusted mentor can be our greatest asset.
The best leaders build teams that can share accountability. Team days can build bonds, and trust, and create the conditions for distributed leadership.
These days are vital for whole team days, SLT away days, or strategic planning events. Talk to us about the packages we can put together for you and your team(s), including the review, planning, and bonding activities so vital for the successful engagement with and delivery of your strategy. You provide the venue and we will handle the rest.
We're here to help you create an experience that not only informs your future planning but also leaves your team feeling refreshed and revitalized.
