The programme learning will be guided by Clore Social Leadership’s Social Capabilites Framework and Leadership Development Model (both below). Using our Social Capabilities Framework you will be guided to develop inspirational, empowering,
courageous, focused, passionate and generous leadership capabilities - qualities essential to any effective leader.
You will learn how and what these skills and behaviours look like in action, where your strengths and areas of improvement lie, and how you can develop and encourage them in yourselves and others.
Leadership development must start with self-awareness. The most successful leaders critically assess their strengths, weaknesses, motivations and values. Leadership is tough, so it is also important to build physical and
emotional resilience, and look after their own wellbeing so they can respond effectively to leadership challenges.

Social sector ‘systems’ are rapidly changing. We live in a dynamic world that is transforming our workplaces, politics, ethics and communities. To meet these demands, social leaders need to understand the complexities of
changing systems. They must also be aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead to steer their teams and organisations, and make the most of what these changes offer.

No leader exists or succeeds in isolation. Social skills and empathy are required to inspire, motivate and empower others, whilst respecting diversity and celebrating the power that difference brings. Working with and through
others involves collaborating, forming partnerships, as well as inspiring and growing other leaders, all while making a positive social impact.
