Learn, Lead, Progress – Developing as a leader at our University

07 Jul 2021

As part of our Learn, Lead, Progress campaign, Staff Learning & Development is sharing resources, ideas, guidance and opportunities to support your personal development and career progression

Do you lead people in your role? Do you take a lead on activities in your role?

Over the next three months we will be focusing on Lead – sharing relevant resources and ideas that we have curated to support you as a manager, leader or aspiring leader.

Our President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Nancy Rothwell says: "It is vital to The University of Manchester that we have effective, capable and engaged leaders and managers throughout this incredible organisation. It is very often the quality of leadership and management that makes it possible for all colleagues to achieve their potential at work. In this way, your work benefits people in many different ways both locally and around the world."    

Everyone can be a leader in their role – we can all inspire, lead and motivate people.  To achieve this, we want to support your development as a leader, manager or supervisor, or as part of your career development into a new role.

Whether you are looking for a course, coaching, mentoring, self-directed learning or bite-sized learning on specific skills, you will find plenty of resources to support you. Check out some of the opportunities and resources on our webpages: 

• Leading, Managing and Supervising at the University
• Managers’ Essentials

Please watch out for a range of communications over the next few months as part of our Lead campaign. We hope you find something to spark your leadership development over the coming year.

• In the meantime, have a look at our SL&D webpages, A-Z of Learning Resources, and our Learning for All guide and join the conversation on our Yammer page.
