Course Overview

A process for professional growth mindset that managers quietly work around has already failed. Policy on this strand of people management and development is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. Comparative studies of this part of people management and development across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Plans for professional growth mindset often fail at the handover point between functions. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of people management and development and revise it on evidence. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this part of people management and development it covers ends in something applicable. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of professional growth mindset and prepares them for it. The programme suits teams tackling this area of people management and development together as readily as individuals attending alone. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of people management and development into commitments with owners and dates.
