Programmes Overview
In a fast-paced, ever-changing global environment, outstanding leadership is vital to the success of individuals, organisations, sectors and society. At Windsor Leadership we take good leaders and make them outstanding.
Our programmes focus on self-development and self-awareness to better equip you to respond to the challenges of strategic leadership. They are designed for leaders who have the potential to shape the future of their own organisations, as well as society as a whole.
Duration and location
The programmes range from two to five days and are followed by a Part Two up to six months later, designed to review and reflect on the continued learnings from Part One. We offer residential programmes, held within Windsor Castle and Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park, as well as Live-Online programmes, delivered ‘live’ via Zoom.
Selection and participation
We are meticulous in our selection process to guarantee full cross-sector diversity and ensure your peers are at the same point in their leadership development. Learning is primarily focused around conversations with those cross-sector attendees, as well as the Programme Chair, Facilitators and Guest Speakers.
We offer space for you to reflect, debate, discuss, and transform your thinking and leadership behaviours on a personal and professional level. Only one participant attends from an organisation at any one time, and we guarantee a safe and confidential environment, ensuring open and honest dialogue. All programmes operate under Chatham House Rule.
Each programme has regular breakout groups where you can discuss your personal leadership challenges in syndicates. Plenary sessions will allow you to hear from senior leaders, review shared insights and discuss themed topics. Time is set aside for reflection, encouraging you to appraise your leadership journey and think strategically about your future.
