CMI L7 Award in Strategic Management and Leadership.

The CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Management and Leadership consists of one assignment which is Strategic Leadership which involves delegates developing the skills of the strategic leader.

The course focuses on the practicalities of leadership from a delivery perspective and, through a series of competency based leadership skills assessments and experiential leadership development exercises, develops confidence within the leader.

Developing your leadership capability

Becoming a more effective leader involves delegates in a complex process of changing behaviours, based on an understanding of leadership and on the development of a range of personal and interpersonal skills.

Simply understanding what leadership involves, or developing insight into the effect of one’s own emotional state or values on decision-making, or being good at communicating with others is not sufficient, although each is a necessary component of any leadership role.

It is the synthesis of this that enables effective leaders to recognise the effect of their own behaviours on other people and on the organisation, and to manage those behaviours to achieve the goals that they have agreed.

Our CMI Level 7 Award in Strategic Management & Leadership development programme places great emphasis on developing this ability; if you are to continue to improve your performance beyond the programme.
