Course outline

Week one

Know Yourself, Be Yourself, Look After Yourself

Week one is focused on reviewing the personal qualities that social leaders have and how they’re demonstrated. Through personal reflection and introspection, you will get a clear understanding of your own leadership strengths and areas for improvement.

Week two

Understanding context and purpose

Week two focuses on gaining insight into ‘why’ you do what you do, what motivates you, and how this is influenced by your context - everything around you, from politics, society and communities to universities and workplaces.

Week three

Become a great team player

None of us exist or succeed in isolation. Week three will help you understand how to be a great team player and how to communicate and collaborate with your peers effectively.

Week four

Wellness action plan

This week is all about you. We'll challenge you to think about how you can take ownership of your personal well-being through a variety of lessons, tools and exercises.

Week five

Looking towards the future

Week five consolidates the learning from the last four weeks and help you chart the next steps in your leadership development, by creating a clear actionable plan for continuing your learning and development.

How you'll learn

The journey

Designed to fit around and complement your day-to-day work, the course is structured over five weeks, each week containing a practical and reflective task for you to complete before the end of the week, focusing on a core component of social leadership.

Tasks

Tasks won't be assessed, but we strongly recommend completing them to solidify learning.

Time commitment

To get the most out of your learning, we recommend allocating around 2-4 hours a week on the course and interacting with your peers on the course as much as possible!

Live Classrooms (online)

During the course there is one welcome classroom, two live seminars (second and fourth Wednesdays, 12:30 - 13:30 GMT) where you and your cohort will discuss the issues you've been working on, and a further networking opportunity.

What you'll learn

The course learning will be guided by Clore Social Leadership’s Social Capabilities 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.

Social Leadership Capabilities Framework

Being a social and ethical leader requires certain capabilities. The Social Leadership Capabilities Framework outlines the attributes, behaviours and skills required for successful social sector leadership. The Capabilities Framework illustrates how and what these skills and behaviours look like in action. Having a framework enables leaders to reflect and assess their current skills. It empowers them to identify leadership gaps and plan their personal and professional development.
