What is the Leadership Programme?

It is a programme that focuses on helping businesses in the North of Tyne area to grow, through the development of them and their team.

Delegates are supported through some essential elements of leadership to help take staff forward in a positive and productive way. TEDCO CEO James Craft says:

“As a business support organisation, we often hear from founders that they’d benefit from guidance on leadership, especially in light of taking on new staff. So we’ve allocated resources to a short programme which will address all those common questions, and more importantly which will develop the confidence of those businesses.

I know how it feels to have the responsibility of looking after a team of staff and to mark my first year in the Chief Exec role I wanted to organise a programme to help others.”

What does the package include?

A series of workshops delivered over 4 weeks plus one-to-one support to help you develop yourself or your team. Let’s take a look at what we will take you through in the workshops. You will cover:

  • Impactful Leadership: Know yourself first to lead others.
  • The Strategic Leader: Aligning the culture with your business mission.
  • Leading Through Transformation: Navigating change with Inclusive leadership
