“What got you here, won't get you there.”
The message of Marshall Goldsmith’s book underpins this workshop - there’s a big step between managing at the operational and front-line level and moving towards more strategic leadership roles – especially in Higher Education. As well as a micro-focus on the detail of your team’s work, you now need a wide-angle view to scan the horizon, see the big picture and appreciate the connections and interactions of the system.

In the workshop you’ll be able to try out some tools for strategic thinking, and techniques for understanding the impact of your decisions and actions on the wider system.
You’ll also understand your influence and responsibility for creating an inclusive and successful culture. As Marshall Goldsmith says: “The higher up you go in the organization, the more you need to make other people winners and not make it about winning yourself.”
If you’re looking to make the move to senior leadership, or have recently taken that step, then this course will provide you with the skills, knowledge and mindset to help you successfully make – or prepare for – the transition.
