Visionary Leadership Programme
Futureproof your career with our CMI Endorsed Leadership programme
What is the Visionary Leadership Programme?
Our Visionary Leadership Programme is a management development programme aimed at experienced and senior managers. It explores management theories and models and how to use these to improve the performance of the team, the organisation and of themselves.
It follows the UK’s professional standards and is endorsed by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). This means all participants receive a CMI Endorsed Certificate simply for attending. It is delivered in 3 separate full days.
What are the benefits of the Programme?
Many managers are promoted without any support or development. This is referred to as ‘accidental managers’. This course provides experienced managers with the tools and techniques needed to excel in their role. The aim is to increase the confidence, skills and abilities of the manager whilst benefiting the teams and organisation they work for and with. It also provides them with a safe environment to share their experiences and learn with others.
What will I learn?
We have created this programme around what business owners and managers perceive is needed for the experienced manager. It includes many of the topics that managers often find challenging without formal training. Click below to find out more:

How is it delivered?
There are two routes to completing this programme. It can be delivered in-house or in a public course. In-house means that we deliver it to employees within just one company. The benefits are that attendees get to understand the challenges of different managers across the business. Alternatively, we deliver this publicly so individual employees can sign up. The benefit of this method is that they get to learn from fellow managers in different businesses and industries.
