Bridge the gap between doing the job and leading others, with practical, real-world training.

Help your managers have the difficult conversations, delegate with confidence and build high-performing teams.

Delivered by experienced leaders, not career trainers. Open courses run in London, or we can deliver in-house, tailored to your team.

Management skills & Leadership skills

Management Skills

Management skills are the day-to-day craft: delegating properly, giving feedback that lands, handling conflict before it festers, managing your own time so you can manage other people's.

Leadership Skills

Leadership skills are what you build on top of that: setting direction, building trust, getting a team to want to follow you rather than having to.

Every course below builds one or both. If you're not sure where to start, tell us what's actually happening in your team and we'll point you at the right one.

In-House Leadership Development

The Management Development Programme

This is our flagship programme, for organisations serious about building leaders, not just sending people on a course.

The Management Development Programme runs in three tiers: Core for supervisors and first-line managers, Leader for first-line managers moving into a leadership role, and Executive for senior leaders and SLT.

Each is delivered at your workplace and tailored to your organisation, with ILM accreditation, MBTI profiling, group coaching, and access to Alchemy of Leadership throughout.

Core
Building Strong Foundations 3 days
Leader
Developing Capable Leaders 4 days
Executive
Leading with Strategic Vision 7 days

Most organisations run Core first, then bring Leader in for the people who step up. Together the three tiers form a leadership development programme that grows with your business, and every one of them is built around your organisation, not off the shelf.

Common Questions

What's the difference between the open courses and the Management Development Programme?

The open courses are single-day or multi-day workshops you book a seat on. The MDP is a longer, structured in-house programme built around your organisation.

Can any of these be delivered in-house?

Yes. Every open course can also be delivered at your workplace, tailored to your team.

Do I need management experience to attend?

No. Several of these are built for people moving into management for the first time.
