Executive Leadership Team Development Programme

FE Associates Executive Leadership Team (ELT) Development Programme has been designed with a specific focus on:

• Building cohesive senior leadership teams.
• Providing the space and time to press the
  pause button.
• Ensuring team members know, understand
  and appreciate their colleagues.
• Creating a shared understanding of the
  unique ambitions, perspectives and
  preferred ways of working among team
  members.

Through three facilitated one-day workshops and individual one-to-one coaching support*, executive leadership teams will gain individual and team insights, build honest, caring and trusting relationships, create a unified team purpose and vision, position themselves to work more effectively across the organisations they lead and
ensure they are well connected to the internal and external worlds of Further Education and Skills.

• New and refreshed senior teams.
• Senior teams developing new organisational strategies and priorities.

• Workshop One: Individual Awareness and Connection
• Workshop Two: Collective Purpose and Team Identity
• Workshop Three: Organisational and Strategic Influence
• Workshop Four (optional): Review and Revitalise – We suggest that the executive team considers reconvening three to six months after the original. programme to review progress and revitalise its work

Coaching Session One

Participants will have a one-hour online coaching session to reflect on their experience of Workshop One, make sense of key moments, and identify personal learning to apply going forward.

Coaching Session Two

This session allows participants to explore their individual and team impact in more depth, building insight.

Coaching Session Three

This final coaching conversation provides an opportunity to consolidate learning and reflect on questions such as:

“What am I doing that makes this team more (or less) effective?”

“How can I have an even greater impact on both my and our effectiveness?”

Three facilitated one-day workshops, with the option to add an additional workshop.
