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.
