    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    What is leadership training?

    Leadership training builds essential skills across your workforce. It helps team members lead others, make decisions, and respond to challenges. For organisations, leadership training strengthens internal capability and supports future growth. It also prepares employees for key roles, helping build a reliable leadership pipeline.

    Who is the Leadership Essentials course designed for?

    The course is built for organisations that want to develop leadership capability at the team level. It is ideal for new or emerging leaders, team leads, or staff identified in succession plans. The course helps Learning and Development teams embed core leadership behaviours across departments.

    Why should organisations invest in leadership training?

    Leadership training improves team performance, strengthens communication, and builds consistency in how people lead. It reduces turnover by supporting leaders early. It also helps organisations plan for the future, with stronger internal capability and more confident staff in leadership roles.

    How does the Leadership Essentials course support team development?

    This course supports team development by providing practical leadership tools staff can apply in their daily work. It focuses on communication, accountability, and team culture. Participants leave with clear actions they can use to support their teams and work better across functions.

    Can the Leadership Essentials course be customised to suit our team?

    Yes. The program is modular and flexible. You can select the topics that align with your team’s needs. Content can be contextualised to reflect your systems, policies, and leadership expectations. The training is delivered in a way that reflects your organisation’s culture and goals.

    How is the course delivered to staff?

    The course uses a blended model. It includes self-paced eLearning and interactive, face-to-face workshops. This allows teams to learn core concepts independently, then apply them with support. Sessions are designed for up to 18 participants, keeping the learning practical and focused.

    How many modules can we choose for our team?

    You can choose up to seven modules. Each module covers a key area of leadership. You can run one or more sessions depending on your timeframe and learning goals. The course structure is designed to scale based on team size and business needs.

    How long should we run a leadership training program?

    We recommend delivering a leadership program over several weeks or months. This gives staff time to reflect and practise. When spaced out, learning is retained better and leaders apply skills more confidently at work.

    How do we measure the impact of leadership training?

    The Leadership Essentials course includes the option of a 180° feedback tool. This helps you measure growth in leadership behaviours across the team. You can also track results through manager feedback, engagement scores, or internal capability assessments.

    How is leadership training different from management training?

    Leadership training focuses on influencing, communication, and team dynamics. It builds the people side of leadership. Management training often covers systems, compliance, and reporting. The Leadership Essentials course helps staff lead others, not just manage tasks.

    What leadership skills will our staff gain from the course?

    Key areas include communication, adaptability, emotional intelligence, goal setting, and accountability. Each module builds practical tools aligned with your team’s day-to-day work. This supports both current performance and long-term leadership capability.

    Can we align this course with our internal development framework?

    Yes. The training can be mapped to your existing competencies or frameworks. Our facilitators and learning designers will work with you to ensure the course supports your goals and complements your L&D strategy.

    Is this course suitable for high-potential employees?

    Yes. The Leadership Essentials course is ideal for high-potential staff who are preparing for leadership roles. It supports succession planning and gives your future leaders a strong foundation.
