Leadership: Developing Your Second Expertise (2022) Expertise as a clinician or technician is no guarantee of expertise as a leader. The rules of the leadership game have long changed and control and command just won’t cut it anymore (and maybe never did!). Today, leaders are expected to lead multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-generational teams to get stuff done. And that stuff needs to be done faster, fairer and to a constantly improving standard.

This three day leadership programme shifts the game. It is a programme about stretch, about challenge and about fast growth – if your leaders are up for it! The focus is very strongly on the mindset, skillset and action set that are needed to lead for today and for tomorrow. Participant learning outcomes for each of the three days are outlined below.
