When an individual has demonstrated ambition, drive and potential, you can build on their experience by undertaking learning programmes, induction standards and qualifications. 

Creating formal development programmes for those aspiring to be new managers and deputies is a great way of building their confidence and abilities. 

A development programme can help your new managers and deputies understand the responsibilities of being a manager, the breadth of the role and the influence they will have in the position.

A good leadership programme will have clear and relevant learning outcomes, include a focus on interaction with other learners, support and encourage reflection, grow someone’s skills and confidence, not just their knowledge and provide a certificate of completion.

The first signs of a good development programme may be increased confidence, more independent working and decision-making, etc. As their skills increase, your managers will have the confidence to delegate more.

We recommend that you incorporate the following into your development programme that can usually be undertaken within 12 months.
