Aspiring Director

This course helps future leaders identify the competencies they have, and the ones they need to progress to board level. Small groups and tailored learning build confidence and provide a practical foundation for making the transition from manager to director.

Objectives

This course will give you the knowledge and skills to:

  • understand the key competencies a high-performing director needs
  • assess your own strengths and development needs in the context of the director’s role
  • develop a personalised plan for your professional development
  • help your organisation understand the importance of effective succession planning

Benefits

You will leave the course with confidence in your ability to make important business decisions and handle conflicts that may arise within leadership teams. You’ll feel empowered to put yourself forward for new opportunities that advance your career, you will have a clear plan for your future development and your organisation will have increased confidence in moving you to the next level. You will have the opportunity to meet and be inspired by a Chartered Director at a drinks and networking session.
