LEAD

Leadership Development

LEAD

LEAD is the online learning resources for growing leaders.

We want to resource and equip leaders, who will in turn raise up more leaders. Our vision is that these individuals will see transformation in their communities through faith shared in word and action.

LEAD is for new and existing leaders who want to grow and develop themselves and others to see transformation in their communities.

Meet together online with other leaders in a LEAD learning group, or in person with leaders in your local area.

LEAD Testimonials

“My action learning group seemed to have an instant rapport with one another. We had good banter (!) but the highlight of it for me was the way we were able to ask each other difficult questions and be open with one another about the issues we were facing. This openness and vulnerability meant that we really got to the heart of each other’s problems, and by the end it felt like we had each made great progress; not only with our learning goals but actually understanding our own roles in the problems we were facing. I left LEAD with an increased awareness of my own skills, ability and calling and that has enabled me to be more assertive even in the last month since LEAD finished.” – Lead Participant

How it Works

LEAD offers you a choice of 5 core modules. Each of the five core modules will provide you with opportunities for:

  • Individual feedback and support from a LEAD coach,
  • Flexible learning content you can tailor to meet your own learning needs,
  • Personal reflection and taking practical actions in your own context,
  • As well as connecting with other leaders through action learning groups.

Once you’re signed up we’ll give you a Log in to our LEAD learning hub. Register your interest here.

Whilst we’d prefer you to engage with action learning to experience the full benefit of LEAD, its flexible modular content means it is possible to access individual modules to complete on your own.

There’s the option to evidence your learning through follow up learning activities. 

LEARNING RESOURCES

Example: TEam Leadership Session 2 – Building Teams

What’s Involved?

LEAD currently offers 5 modules.

Each module is made up of 4 weekly E-briefings & action learning groups with a week either side to prepare and complete your learning plan and follow up activity to evidence your learning.

During the weeks that a LEAD module is running you will need to commit 30 minutes to read and reflect on some aspect of the weekly content, at your own convenience and 90 minutes for the action learning group meet up which will be scheduled in advance.

You will need to have access to the internet and be comfortable with engaging online. We currently use Zoom for meet ups. Hover over each of the images below to find out more about each Module. To view the content, please sign-up for LEAD by clicking here.

How much does it cost?

Church Army has covered the cost of the producing LEAD and cost will be based on whether you are wanting to register for the whole LEAD programme with action learning, 360’ feedback and submit learning activities. We aim to keep cost to a minimum. To find out more about cost contact us.

Is it accredited?

No. Whilst there are activities to help you demonstrate and record your learning if you wish, we want to ensure that LEAD can be accessed by as wide a range of leaders and that these activities are creative, fun and useful to you in your role.

What’s the time commitment?

We ask for a minimum 2hr commitment per week during the module so 10-12hrs per 5 week module. You can complete modules at your own pace or sign up for the LEAD Foundation level and complete Authentic, Healthy & Team leadership over 9 months. Alternatively you can sign up for the full 18 month programme.
