Leadership & Management Development

Effective leadership skills are often the difference between good performance and outstanding performance.

Research tells us that behavioural competence - behaving in a particular way at work - is the key ingredient for successful leadership and management. The good news is, it's learnable! But the not-so-good news is that changing behaviour can be difficult and uncomfortable. At Unicorn, we support the uniqueness of each Leader and Manager, encouraging and enabling them to adapt their approaches so they can continue to be authentic in who they are.

Developing these skills has become a major issue in modern business environments as people at all levels are taking on increasing responsibilities. Leadership and Management development are critical in ensuring individual and organisational success, both in current roles and in transition to new positions. The style and content of our development programmes are adapted to suit the experience and needs of the managers involved.

Leadership & Management Development programmes involve building:

  • Knowledge
  • Understanding
  • Skills & Techniques

To bridge the gap between theory and practice, we spend time applying the learning to issues raised by delegates and developing solutions to implement in your organisation. To enable this, programmes are often supported with on-going learning groups.

This can be training or workshop based, or a combination of the two.

Training Based

We merge traditional learning approaches and experiential application in the training environment. All tools and techniques can be applied to the workplace quickly and effectively.

Workshop Based

Working with management teams on live issues, we at Unicorn assist development through facilitation, reflection and feedback on the ‘how’ of group interaction and process.
