ILM Level 5 Award in Leadership
“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” – Peter Drucker.
Understanding differences in leadership capability and managerial skills is important. At the same time understanding your own leadership style is quite significant; whether situational, transactional, transformational, autocratic, participative or indeed Laissez-Faire.
You will be introduced to theories and concepts of leadership which will enable you to understand and discover your potential as a leader and develop your skills to apply in real life situations.
The ILM Level 5 Award in Leadership is a single-unit, qualification exploring leadership roles and theories, self-leadership, emotional intelligence, winning and maintaining commitment of your teams towards the organisation’s goals and values, setting and communicating direction and developing key skills required to use different leadership styles.
It is particularly useful for middle managers who lack the opportunity to engage actively in leadership but who are preparing to do so, or for managers employed in a leadership role who are keen to underpin their practice with a clearer knowledge of the principles of leadership.
