Program overview
This 8-week virtual training program combines our ‘Leading in the Laboratory’ and ‘Managing Performance’ courses.
Designed in a convenient weekly online format, this program builds leadership and management competencies in a time-efficient way and is especially suitable for anyone who finds attending full days of training challenging.
There are 8 modules in the program, with a new module delivered each week.
Each module is covered in a 2.5-hour virtual training session and is designed to build on the knowledge and skills of the previous week’s learning.
“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves”

Delivery
Course delivery:
- Virtual
Weekly sessions are designed to maximise learning using the following format:
- The session starts with a review of the previous week to identify areas that require further discussion or learning. Then, the current week’s module is introduced in an engaging and interactive way.
- Then participants apply their new knowledge to a series of entertaining, team-based activities with clearly defined learning objectives. Throughout this process, participants acquire practical tools and materials they can immediately use within their own work environment.
- Participants end the session with ‘follow-up exercises / practice activities’ to be completed by the following week. These help clarify any learning gaps and apply what has been learned during training in a practical and realistic context.
Although participants are strongly encouraged to attend every session ‘live’, if a participant is unable to attend their designated session, a recording and all associated materials will be made available through the online learning portal.
