Leading Together: Resources & Tools

Developing leadership behaviours is relevant to all of us, not simply managers or those in senior roles. The Leading Together framework is a developmental tool that describes the behaviours - at every level of leadership - that demonstrate our Queen Mary Values. 

The downloadable self-assessment tool, below, is particularly useful during the appraisal season. It’s designed to help you think about where you are in your career, and what you might do to get you to where you want to be.

Pathways to Leadership is for those aspiring to management or leadership roles, and offers a suite of development programmes aimed at supporting your progression. Have a look at the brochure below to find the right level for you.

Development in Leadership & Management

The Organisational & Professional Development Team are in the process of refreshing the offer for Leadership and Management development.  We are building programmes that will support colleagues at each stage of their career, no matter what their role.

We are currently working to identify those elements that will be key at each stage, and plan to offer the following:

Preparing for a Team Leader/Manager Role

For colleagues who are considering a move into a supervisory/management role for the first time.

Format: A workshop session currently run online.

Management Essentials

For colleagues who have recently taken on the responsibility of management, or who have not received management development previously.  This programme aims to prepare colleagues to take ownership of their management role, and to build their knowledge and confidence.

Format: 4 half-day workshops (2 in person, 2 remote)

Established Managers, Emerging Leaders

For colleagues who are established, or have previous experience, in managing a team, and are now embedding those skills and exploring the demands of leadership.

Format: An extended course of 8 workshops, which will be piloted online.

Transition to organisational leadership

For colleagues who established in more senior roles, and considering or preparing for leadership lead at a School, Institute or Department level

Format: An induction session followed by an series of monthly workshops and individual coaching sessions over Semesters A and B.  To be run online initially.

Heads of School/Institute or Leadership development for Professional Services colleagues

Leadership development for Professional Services colleagues

Format: An extended programme involving a series of workshops, discussion groups, and coaching, running from October through to March.

At each level the format and content will align with our Strategy 2030 and Values, and there will be opportunities for additional activities to compliment the core content.
