AUDE Excellence in Estates: Enhancing Strategic Leadership and Management course
4th March 2010 (Course begins 4.30pm 3rd March)
Venue - Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel
Background
This event is designed for senior professional staff working in higher education estates and facilities management settings at deputy and director level. Participants will explore the demands of strategic leadership within both a personal and institutional context - and the challenge of delivering high quality results whilst supporting and managing a team. Through an examination of future ‘big issues’ in estates management; the course will equip delegates to identify potential opportunities to achieve excellence for themselves, their team and institution. AUDE has worked with the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education to custom design this event to enable senior estates staff to build contacts, network with others in similar positions, enhance their capacity to utilise talent, achieve success and build for the future. This programme is a repeat of the successful events delivered in June 2008 and March 2009.
Aims The programme is designed to allow participants to begin to:
- explore the leadership role of deputies and directors in motivating and managing teams
- examine the foreseeable ‘big picture’ for higher education, review the challenges and opportunities facing senior estates staff and assess the changes and developments in individual knowledge and competencies required to meet them
- increase self–knowledge so as to provide a framework within which each individual can:
(i) reflect on his/her own needs and plan for their fulfilment
(ii) reflect on the skills and changes directors will also need to develop in their own staff
(iii) develop enhanced networking and ongoing mutual support amongst group members as a network for further learning.
The detailed programme will include sessions on:
- leadership development strategies
- 'the big picture’ - reflections on higher education and higher education management, with particular reference to the positions of senior staff in estates
- case study ‘you and your institution’. Looking at the role of you and your team in the institution.
