What is the Leadership Training Programme course?
The Leadership Training Programme is a 16-hour corporate workshop for first-time, mid-level and emerging senior leaders. It develops four connected capabilities: leadership identity and strategic judgement, delegation and accountability, executive communication and influence, and leading teams through change. Participants practise difficult conversations and briefings, receive structured feedback, and leave with a 90-day action plan grounded in a real leadership challenge.
Is this the right course for you or your team?
Who it is for
- First-time managers moving from individual contribution to team leadership
- Mid-level managers who need stronger delegation, feedback and cross-functional influence
- High-potential professionals preparing for wider responsibility
- Leadership cohorts navigating growth, restructuring or technology-led change
Situations it fits
- Managers retain work instead of delegating ownership clearly
- Feedback happens late or avoids the behaviour that needs to change
- Important recommendations are not communicated with executive clarity
- A transformation is creating uncertainty, resistance or unclear accountability
Prerequisites
- Participants should currently lead people, projects or important cross-functional work
- Each participant brings one real leadership situation that can be anonymised for practice
- This is not a legal or HR-compliance course for disciplinary action
When a different course fits better
Choose the narrower course when the development need is specific.
- AI Change Managementfor adoption and workforce-change leaders focused specifically on AI
- Professional Development Trainingfor communication and structured-thinking capability across career levels
The business problems this course addresses
Leadership capability becomes visible in conversations and decisions, so the course is built around practice.
| Task | The usual problem | What participants practise |
|---|---|---|
| Delegate important work | The manager either keeps control or hands off a task without context, authority or checkpoints. | Define outcome, boundary, decision rights, support and review cadence in one delegation conversation. |
| Address performance | Feedback stays vague, delayed or personal. | Describe observable behaviour and impact, listen, agree the next behaviour and document follow-through. |
| Influence stakeholders | A long update hides the decision, trade-off and ask. | Structure an executive briefing around the decision, evidence, risk and required action. |
| Lead through change | Leaders broadcast announcements but do not address role impact, uncertainty or resistance. | Map stakeholders, listen for the type of resistance and plan communication plus reinforcement. |
What participants will be able to do
Practise the skills below through course exercises, then check the results and explain how you would apply them to your work.
Define a leadership approach
Articulate the shift from personal execution to direction, context, accountability and team development.
Delegate with clarity
Set outcomes, authority, boundaries and checkpoints without micromanaging or abandoning ownership.
Give actionable feedback
Hold a direct, evidence-based conversation and agree a follow-up behaviour.
Communicate upward
Deliver a concise executive briefing that makes the decision and ask easy to understand.
Influence across functions
Identify stakeholder interests, evidence and trade-offs before seeking commitment.
Lead a change conversation
Respond to uncertainty and resistance with honest communication, involvement and reinforcement.
Applied to each team’s real work
First-time managers
Role transition, expectations, delegation, feedback and team routines.
Mid-level managers
Strategic context, cross-functional influence, accountability and executive communication.
High-potential leaders
Ambiguity, stakeholder judgement, leadership identity and broader organisational perspective.
Transformation leaders
Stakeholder mapping, resistance, communication and sustained change behaviour.

Need the agenda built around your team’s work?
Share the roles attending and the tasks to improve. The proposal sets out the adapted agenda.
Exercises and practical outputs
Short explanations lead into guided practice, review and a workplace application.
How every module runs
Understand
Learn the decision model, vocabulary and expected standard.
Observe
Watch the trainer apply the method to a realistic example.
Practise
Complete a bounded task, lab, role play or working exercise.
Review
Use evidence and feedback to improve the output and define the next application.
Exercises use representative, non-sensitive examples. Outputs are produced during the workshop for practice and review; anything participants keep is their own working material.
How the course is tailored and delivered
Private delivery is shaped around the organisation’s roles, starting level, systems, policies and situations participants must handle after training.
From first conversation to evaluation
Clarify the job outcome
Agree what participants should be able to explain, perform or produce after the programme.
Check the starting point
Review experience, tools, terminology and access so the course does not begin at the wrong level.
Select realistic practice
Choose useful scenarios and datasets without exposing confidential or restricted information.
Define completion evidence
Confirm the practical output, feedback method and follow-up expected from participants.
Delivery formats
Private corporate cohort
Best for: One organisation aligning participants around a shared platform or capability
Delivered live online or onsite. Scope, exercises, prerequisites, participant count and support are confirmed in the proposal.
Modular programme
Best for: Teams that need learning spaced around work and application
The core curriculum can be divided into shorter sessions with practice between modules. The agreed schedule and handover are documented before delivery.
Delivery modes
Live online
Facilitated sessions with demonstrations, breakout practice, review and shared working artefacts.
Onsite
Private delivery at the client location, with prerequisites and room or lab requirements agreed before the programme.

Common questions before planning this course
Answers about the published course. The written proposal records any agreed customisation, delivery details and commercials.
Can the Leadership Training Programme be customised for our organisation?
Yes. Private programmes can reflect participant roles, starting level, approved systems, industry context and agreed workplace situations. The final agenda and outputs are documented in the proposal.
Can this be delivered onsite or live online?
Yes. Both modes are available for private cohorts. Dates, location, session pattern, participant count and technical or room prerequisites are confirmed in writing.
Is a Technovids completion certificate included?
Yes, for participants who meet the stated completion requirements. Each Technovids certificate has a unique ID that can be verified on the Technovids website. It is not a cloud-vendor or professional-body certification.
How is leadership training different from management-process training?
This programme concentrates on judgement, communication, influence and behaviour in leadership situations. Processes such as performance-review administration or organisation-specific HR policy can be included only when explicitly scoped with the client.
Does the course include leading through AI change?
It includes a broader change-leadership module that can use AI adoption as one context. Choose the dedicated AI Change Management programme when workforce AI adoption is the central objective.
How is behaviour change evaluated?
Participants practise observable behaviours during the programme and leave with application commitments. Any manager follow-up, 360 input or later evaluation is defined per engagement rather than implied as automatic.
Can senior leaders and first-time managers attend together?
They can, but practice is usually stronger when participants face comparable leadership situations. Discovery should determine whether separate cohorts or role-specific breakouts are more useful.
