Leadership Development
From the cleaner to the Chief Executive, leaders are to be found at every level in organisations. At Equality Academy we take seriously the idea that everyone is, in some way, a leader: some lead with a great deal of fanfare, others by quietly getting on with their work, and thus setting an example through their actions, not words; some shape vision, mission and purpose, giving expression to others’ half-formed ideas, while others lead by sound follower-ship, encouraging those around them to do the same; some show leadership by being transparent about mistakes, being willing to share what they don’t know, and not taking themselves too seriously, others by being a “critical friend” to those in power.
Our commitment to equality means we believe in and value equally each person’s leadership potential; our recognition of diversity means allowing ourselves to be constantly surprised by, and honouring, the myriad forms that this leadership potential takes when it is realised. Our commitment to you means we want to help you recognise and realise your leadership potential, so you can achieve personal success and make your distinctive contribution to the success of the business.
Workshops
Equality Academy’s Leadership and Management Development suite includes most of the core relational skills required of leaders, in particular those leaders with a people management function. Our aim is to foster excellence in leading and managing people through focusing upon the way leaders manage themselves and others in relationship. Beginning with the terrain of Vision and Values, we traverse a varied developmental terrain from personal presence, confidence and power in our Assertive Leadership training, to implementing progressive flexible working programmes.
All the time, at the heart of our offer, is an invitation to ask “What are my, and our, core values, and how do we bring them to life in everything we do as a business?”
