Leadership Development Programme
Leadership Development is not a cost, it is a positive investment in your business.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, leadership is defined as “the action of leading a group of people or an organisation.” The essential focus lies on people, not solely on processes or things.
There is an old, but very true saying: “People join great businesses, but leave poor leaders.” As HR professionals we see this a lot. In most cases, this is not entirely the fault of the leaders themselves.
Most people learn a trade, go to university or receive training to carry out their role well. On this basis, they do well in that role. They are then promoted into management or leadership roles. However, in many cases, no thought is given to training and developing people for such important roles within the organisation. They do their best and often manage people the way they were managed since they don’t know any difference, with mixed results.
People Matters HR recognises that leadership is a skill. We believe in developing individuals to become effective leaders, enabling them to maximise the potential of their teams. By nurturing their employees’ abilities, engaging them effectively and enhancing their performance, businesses can improve overall organisational performance while simultaneously reducing recruitment costs and saving time.

As Managing Director of an international organisation based in Leicestershire, we recognised that to help the organisation grow further, we needed to develop our managers leadership skills.
We engaged Niel Cope from People Matters HR, who put together a bespoke leadership development program. All our managers from across the UK, including myself and other directors attended. Niel delivered a number of workshops designed to meet our needs, to develop and stretch our managers to become leaders of people.
We commissioned People Matters again, to develop to develop our skills in recruiting and retention of employees and to design a competency based performance management system to further engage and develop our people and coached our leadership team to engage with this effectively.
If you are investing in the development of your leadership team, I would highly recommend speaking to People Matters HR.
