Accredited Leadership Training Programme - Now Accepting Applications
Real leadership is all about change - about possessing the right array of skills, abilities and knowledge to be able to bend the arc of history towards justice. We are therefore pleased to inform you that The Wheel and Community Action Network's accredited Transformative Leadership Programme is now open for registration.
The Transformative Leadership Applied Practice Programme will provide you with a Level 8 accreditation by focusing on strengthening and deepening your capacity and ambition as a leader in the Irish community and voluntary sector.
Consisting of four core modules, the programme will focus on:
Module 1: Personal Leadership Model Building - the first module focuses on enhancing effective leadership through a combination of personal and shared reflection, as well as practical skills development, theoretical inputs and group practice.
Module 2: Understanding and Leading Change - this module examines the complexities of advocating and leading change, including internal communications, fostering leadership in others and working with frameworks for change to develop a personal vision for leadership.
Module 3: Systems Change – Working Creatively with Diversity - the third module provides a model for understanding organisational culture and how it relates to leadership, working creatively with conflict and diversity, exploring complexity theory and its relevance to leading systemic change.
Module 4: Building Strategic Alliances - the final module widens the learning to include skills development in collaborative working, working with power dynamics, as well developing a personal leadership plan and network for the future.
