In this period of change for local authorities, there has never been more need for strong, insightful leadership and management. But what does that mean? How do leadership and management differ from each other? How do the two go hand-in-hand? And how can you personally develop the skills to make a tangible difference for your team, service or directorate?

This interactive course from APSE is designed for middle and senior managers in local authorities. It provides an opportunity to explore leadership as a critical management quality during times of turbulence and change as well as business as usual.

On this course we look at different types of leadership and when they are needed; the traits of a good leader and how they fit your leadership style; how to solve problems and make hard decisions; and the importance of emotional intelligence. We combine theory with the practical tools needed to lead, in different situations, with resilience, clarity and compassion.

Learning Outcomes:

During the course you will:

• Explore transformational leadership as a management skill.
• Examine organisational culture as a foundation for leadership.
• Analyse the impact of your natural behaviour traits on team developments.
