Live course

People management: build buy-in as you step up

How to get your team onside, even when you feel like an imposter, and tackle the most worrying HR issues with confidence. Part of our 'New to headship' series - live, deeply practical classes for new and aspiring heads in the skills the NPQ can't teach you.

We know the shift to headship can be daunting, and for some, a lonely experience. This course gives new heads the practical training and support network they need to feel confident navigating the complexities of team and people management.
