Growth Leadership Training

In-House Training Courses > Growth Leadership Training

This 1-day training course equips leaders with the knowledge to support their employees through the challenges of organisational growth by focusing on change management, employee engagement, wellbeing, building resilience and developing a growth mindset.

Why Growth Leadership Training is so important

Supporting employees through organisational change, restructuring, and growth is key to achieving ambitious goals. Effective leadership is the cornerstone of team success during transformative times.

Change and rapid growth can significantly impact employees' well-being and engagement due to feelings of uncertainty, fear of new processes, and worries about adapting to different ways of working and meeting fluctuating demands. Training in growth leadership equips leaders and managers with the skills to support employees' wellbeing and prepare their teams for sustainable, future-oriented growth.

This one-day course explores growth mindsets, leadership behaviours that support growth, workplace culture, resilience skills, and stress management. Leaders and managers will gain an understanding of how to build an environment that fosters trust, healthy conflict, risk-taking, collaboration, and a growth mindset.
