Leadership & Management Development

It is recognised that we need high standards of leadership and management in order to achieve our vision as set out in our Corporate Strategy: Making Knowledge Work 2009 - 2014. To deliver our objectives we need staff who feel supported, well managed and well led. The University of Bradford is therefore committed to building and developing the skills, knowledge and competence of its leaders and managers.

A management guide What does a good manager do? (pdf, 107 KB) sets out what the University expects of its managers and this is to be used as part of the Performance Review discussion and as a development tool for managers. It also aligns with the values in the Corporate Strategy and articulates how managers are expected to behave.

Staff Development is developing a range of programmes and workshops in order to support managers in their role and to help them meet the emerging needs of the changing HE environment:

• Senior Management Development Strategy (Currently under development)
• Core Management Development (compulsory for managers)
• Further Support and Development for Managers
• Coaching and Mentoring
