 Experienced Strategic Leaders Programme  The Experienced Strategic Leaders Programme allows experienced leaders to explore, with others at a similar level, the decisions and responsibilities of strategic leadership.
The Programme is aimed at established strategic leaders who have been in post for several years, and are continuing to progress towards the most senior positions or take on the responsibility of leading larger organisations. These people will be directly responsible for shaping their own organisations. Some participants will be Alumni from earlier Windsor Leadership Trust programmes.
Throughout the process, participants will have the time to consider such issues as:
- The personal challenges of critical decision-making at some depth
- Leading in the grey zone (just under the most senior roles) where there are fewer people to talk to at the same level
- Ways to cope with the increasing loneliness and isolation of strategic leadership
- The nature of complex relationships such as the difficulties of the relationship with Chief Executive and Chair and the affect of Non-Executives and the Board
- Exploring how to build the calibre of people who can be lifted above the operational roles to strategic leadership and how can to move them into these positions
- The pressures of leading in the media spotlight and the implications for both internal and external communications
- Questioning individual actions as a leader, and whether these may affect the organisation in a negative way
- Exploring cutting edge thinking on leadership.
Currently running twice a year over two days, the Experienced Strategic Leaders Programme includes a mix of external speakers who will focus on the lessons they have learnt at similar points in their own leadership journey, in-depth discussions on individuals’ complex leadership challenges in small syndicates, and time for reflection.
Speakers on the last programme were:
Sir David Arculus | Non-Executive Director, Telefόnica |
Baroness Sarah Hogg | Chairman, 3i |
