LMA LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COURSE
APRIL – JUNE 2024 .
INTRODUCTION.
The LMA Leadership Development Course is a 3-month online course focused on developing the leadership skills of participants. It will be delivered through six prerecorded workshops which will be supported by three live drop-in sessions.
The course has been developed by performance psychologist Katie Mobed to provide tools for participants to enhance their leadership skills in three modules: Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading Culture.
Psychologist Oli Dixon will deliver the live drop-in sessions where pre-recorded workshops will be discussed. This is also an opportunity to go through the post-module quizzes, which are set to reinforce learning.
The aim is for participants to gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses, explore personal sources of stress and develop strategies to thrive under pressure, and ultimately acquire the skills to create and lead high performing teams.
Alongside the course delivery, recommended books and online worksheets will be provided to encourage participants to continue their learning in targeted areas.
