Lead to succeed is at the forefront of the more formal development of aspiring new managers and deputies. This learning programme will help individuals to develop their leadership and management potential, gain knowledge and be supported and challenged to put this into practice. We’ve received overwhelming feedback about the difference it can make.

Unlike undertaking formal qualifications, which can often feel like a solitary process, Lead to succeed connects aspiring managers with their peers.

Learners completing Lead to succeed will understand how successful behaviours and practical strategies can support them in their day-to-day work. They will be challenged to put these into practice, boosting their capacity to lead and manage effectively.

The programme includes an emphasis on reflection, helping individuals to learn from their
day-to-day experiences and think about how they can do things differently or get better at
recognising what they do well.

This learning programme is exclusively available from a number of Skills for Care’s endorsed learning providers

The five days are usually delivered over a three-month period, enabling the learning from each day to be put into practice between sessions.

The programme can be delivered flexibly over five days of normal business working hours, or 10 half days, or a different pattern appropriate to delivery choice and/or audience.

Learners are expected to attend each of the five learning and development modules that make up the programme and will only be able to receive a certificate of completion if they have participated in all five modules.
