 FAQs : About our programmes What’s the difference between the programmes?
Windsor Leadership Programmes are designed for those who have some operational leadership experience, and the potential to reach top leadership positions in their field. We welcome applications and nominations for these programmes.
Developing Strategic Leaders Programmes are designed to assist those progressing towards more senior leadership positions to develop their strategic thinking.We welcome applications and nominations for these programmes.
Newly Appointed Strategic Leaders Programmes are designed for those who have either recently made, or are soon to make, the transition to a strategic leadership position. We welcome applications and nominations for these programmes.
Experienced Strategic Leaders Programmes are designed to enable senior executives to become more effective by exploring, with others at a similar level, the responsibilities and challenges of strategic leadership. We welcome applications and nominations for these programmes.
We run one other consultation, our Strategic Leadership Consultation, aimed at those leaders who are operating at the highest level. This event is by invitation only.
Do you have any follow up to the programmes?
We organise a second part to each Windsor Leadership Programme and Newly Appointed Strategic Leaders Programme for all of those who participated six months later. This gives participants the chance to review progress, discuss evolving challenges and strengthen support networks.
Many groups continue to meet regularly after this. We also organise several opportunities each year for our Alumni to come together, for example our Annual Lecture.
Do you develop and run bespoke in-house programmes for organisations?
No, we do not run in-house programmes. Our programmes benefit from having only one person from an organisation at each one. However, many organisations send several people a year, creating internal networks of people adopting the Windsor Leadership Trust’s approach to leadership.
How do you measure the success of the Windsor Leadership Trust’s work?
We measure our success in many ways, from the number of Partner organisations who regularly nominate people, and have done so for many years, through to the positive feedback given to HR departments on participants’ return to work, and to us on our evaluation forms. We also see many of our Alumni moving upwards in their careers. The fact that so many Alumni continue to meet and support one another, and keep in touch with us, indicates the value they place on our programmes.
The overall impact of our work on leaders across society includes: increased awareness of the impact their decisions and actions can have on society, greater creative thinking to generate solutions to problems, and a deeper appreciation of the value of collaborative working, especially alongside different sectors and operational cultures.
