The Barnet and Southgate College Leadership Conversations

This was the core concept espoused by Barnet and Southgate College CEO, Neil Coker, when FE Associates were asked by the college to design and deliver a bespoke development programme for the whole college leadership team. By engaging with the college, understanding the position and ambitions of the organisation we were able to create a unique and innovative programme to assist with the shaping of a new culture and leadership approach. Through an iterative development approach, the Barnet and Southgate Leadership Conversations were born! Leading colleagues through four development workshops with a range of trainers and expert-witnesses, the programme focused on culture, behaviours and the creation of a future vision for leadership at the college. Utilising a number of frameworks to introduce and embed change and developing the capacity of leaders to innovate for the future, leaders were able to collectively develop and commit to a charter to drive the evolution of leadership culture across the college.
