Mini MBA - Leadership in Action Module
A 2 day module held at venues across the UK.
Leadership as an action rather than a role designation. It is the development of leadership practices and behaviours through individual and group reflection with the goal of creating new behaviours and mindsets.
Teams often work in environments where they have little power over their fellow team members and holding team members accountable for their actions can be difficult. Individual members must develop and use skills of negotiation, influence, and persuasion to get work done. Individuals, no matter their title or level within an organisation, have opportunities within their teams to exercise leadership and consciously reflect on their actions in real-time. It is the constant consciousness and intent of personal and team learning that leads to perspective change and refines and enhances leadership practices and behaviours (David Schmittlein, MIT Sloan).

Mini MBA
I very much enjoyed the course, particularly the module on Social Media. Upon coming to the course I had no real knowledge of social media marketing or how to use social media channels. I feel like I’m leaving with a whole new skill set and an abundance of newfound knowledge.

The course content was brilliant and more relevant to my role than I expected. The tutors had different teaching styles and were all fantastic. They were very engaging and offered further contact and support after the course. I enjoyed looking at the Disc leadership analysis and how it would benefit my role.
