Encourage professional growth and talent development within your team


Successful leaders play a critical role in developing employee talent to deliver a competitive advantage.


On this two-week course from the University of Lincoln, you’ll learn how to ensure continuous improvement at all organisational levels, focusing on personal development and nurturing talent.


Learn to develop an organisation wide talent management strategy


Strategic talent management can drive productivity and meaningful growth.


Using different approaches to learning, you’ll reflect on best practice and learn how to use tools such as the 9-box grid to identify talent within your organisation.


With this knowledge, you’ll be able to explain how talent can be developed and the skills needed in leaders to foster their employees’ thirst for personal growth.


Identify the advantages of leadership development


Leadership development helps organisations meet shared goals, objectives, and visions.


You’ll investigate how leaders can improve their capabilities in developing people, knowledge, and skills through self-reflection and analysis.


With this knowledge, you’ll be able to demonstrate the importance of leadership development within a wider talent development strategy.


Enhance your leadership skills with a personal learning and development plan


You’ll be introduced to the Johari window, learning how to gain authentic feedback on your leadership style from your employees.


Using this practical tool, you’ll gain self-awareness, determine your strengths, and highlight areas for improvement.


Bringing together your learning from both weeks, you’ll have developed your knowledge of talent management, whilst reflecting on your own leadership skills. You’ll also be able to use your own professional development to positively impact the growth and engagement of your team.


This course is designed for supervisors, managers, team leaders, and individuals within organisations who want to explore and develop their leadership skills with a particular focus on employee talent development, learning, and engagement.
