Testimonials

"Leading teams today is harder than it has ever been. It taxes every dimension of us as individuals. We must manage processes and outputs as has always been the case, but the outcomes we strive for are so much more diverse. The work we do is more complex, so the teams we manage must perform to a higher level than ever before. If expectations are higher, the aspirations of those teams are higher too. All of this is set against an environment where remote working is now the norm for many. Whilst this is unquestionably challenging, the potential to harness commitment, collaboration, learning behaviours and diversity is profound and it promises to be exciting too."

Dr Philip Stiles

Academic Programme Director

"I thought the course was excellent! The speakers were all experts in their field with their own unique perspectives and insights to share both from an academic point-of-view and a practical one. Throughout the 4 half-day sessions the faculty brought the topic of high performance teams to life with interesting real-life scenarios in business, sports and other team-based scenarios to illustrate the academic learnings and to challenge the way we think about success in teams. The format was very well-adapted to an online setting, utilising breakout rooms for peer-to-peer activities, interactive digital features to encourage student participation, and plenty of opportunities for discussion and ideas-sharing. I found the content in the curriculum very interesting and came away feeling inspired and motivated to put the learnings into practice."
