Leadership Programmes - Introduction

The WIG Leadership Programme and its sister programme, The WIG Senior Leaders Programme, continue to offer a unique and stimulating cross-sector learning experience for leaders and future leaders. Over 500 leaders have now completed these programmes. In a recent survey of alumni, 75% rated the cross-sector nature of these programmes as very valuable in bringing benefits both to their organisation and their own career.

WIG offers two leadership programmes:

WIG Leadership Programme - for talented managers with the potential for strategic leadership positions

WIG Senior Leaders Programme - for senior leaders who are running organisations, or key divisions/functions within large organisations

We also offer one day Development Seminars designed to enhance management and leadership capability or delegates' personal impact

What is different about WIG leadership programmes?

  • Truly cross-sector learning with diverse delegate groups drawn from the public, private and voluntary sectors
  • Highly effective, professionally-facilitated action learning sets - with small groups of 6 or 7 working together to share and resolve their real-time leadership challenges
  • A practical emphasis throughout

Our leadership programmes deliver real benefits for both individuals and organisations. These include:

  • More confident, authentic and self-aware leaders who have benchmarked themselves against a wide range of peers
  • Leaders with broader perspectives and enhanced skills, who can resolve issues proactively
  • Leaders with a real understanding of, and lasting links with, other sectors
  • Leaders who think and work collaboratively to address organisational issues and challenges, and who are equipped for working in partnership with other sectors.

Why should we send people to WIG when we run our own programmes in house?

WIG's unique programmes are designed to complement, not replace, in-house leadership programmes. They offer an additional development option for those wishing to gain a deeper understanding of other sectors, develop a broader perspective, or experience programmes with a highly practical focus.
