Middle leader professional development program

VIEW BROCHURE


Aim of the program

As a Middle Leader, reporting to senior staff, managing juniors, and collaborating with peers are significant responsibilities that bring unique challenges. In a middle leadership role, you also may be considering the next phase of your career and what leadership opportunities you may aspire to and find fulfilment in the future.

The Middle Leader program is a professional development course for doctors, consultant level and above. The program aims to build leadership capability and knowledge, supporting participants to find their own leadership voice and style and to lead with confidence in complex collaborative environments. 
 

Structure of the program

The program provides 18 hours of leadership education facilitated by our leadership expert, Dr Anna Clark. The program is modular in design and is delivered in a small group format over several sessions via both interactive webinars/tutorials, face-to-face workshops, peer learning pairs, one-on-one coaching, and self-paced online learning, including video tutorials, readings, and reflective learning activities.

Program structure:

Participants work on a personal leadership mission statement and three personal action plans across the duration of the program: a personal leadership development plan, a holistic leadership plan, and a professional network health check. These plans support the direct application of learning into specific leadership skills and behaviours that can be used immediately in participants' current roles.
