We鈥檝e rounded up some of our popular resources which can be used to support leaders at all levels to develop and boost their skills.
Leadership starts with me
This is a series of videos to help colleagues at all levels see how they can help to lead the organisation.
Leaders and managers can use these resources with groups of workers to discuss what ‘everyday leadership’ is, why leadership skills in frontline workers are so important, and how they can improve these skills.
We recommend each film and topic are covered in separate sessions, for example in team meetings for groups or during 1-1 supervisions with individual workers. Each activity is expected to take around 15 minutes.
We also provide facilitator guidance to help you with the delivery of these resources.
