Most leadership development changes what leaders know.

Leadership in Management changes how you lead.

Away from the office, under real pressure, with honest feedback, you see yourself clearly and lead differently.

The most honest picture of how you lead that you will ever receive.

Leadership in Management is a 5½-day immersive residential programme for experienced leaders - with six months of preparation, coaching and embedding built around it.

Leaders who come through it consistently describe it as a turning point. The change that follows shows up in their teams and their results.

“Leadership in Management has made me a more open and authentic leader. I feel more able to engage with my team in meaningful, productive ways, adapting my style to meet challenges. Most importantly, my confidence has grown - I understand my unique assets and know when to dial them up or down.”

Sarah Cross | Sustainability Programme Manager

The ROI on Leadership in Management is not 1:1.
It is 1:many.

One leader whose behaviour changes affects every person they lead.

The organisations that send leaders on Leadership in Management do not just develop individuals. They change how their teams perform, how their people are retained and how their decisions get made. And the organisation’s results.

The global leadership development industry spends over £300 billion a year on this problem.

Transfer rates from skills-based training to real workplace behaviour: 10-15%. Leadership in Management changes the behaviour.

Before the residential.

Coaching helps establish a clear picture of each leader’s strengths and development priorities. You arrive knowing what you are working on.

The residential week.

Five and a half days immersion
At Chelsea Parkfields, Leadership Trust’s private residential estate in Herefordshire. Away from the office, the title and the habits that go with both. The challenges - some outdoors, some problem-solving, some about how you work with others under pressure - push leaders into unfamiliar territory. How you actually lead becomes visible, often in ways that surprise you.

Your peers on the programme
Leaders from across sectors and organisations - experience your leadership directly and give you honest, structured feedback. They have no history with you and no reason to soften what they see. That is what makes it land differently from a coach, a trainer or a 360 tool.

Behavioural science and theory
Introduced to help make sense of what you are experiencing - at the moment when they are most useful, not before.

Maximum 1:8 participant-to-facilitator ratio throughout.

After the residential.

One-to-one coaching sessions and peer learning groups help apply insight to real challenges back at work. A second 360 review measures what has changed. This is where the change becomes permanent.

Ongoing.

Access to the Leadership Trust alumni community for ongoing peer connection and development.

No other open programme in the UK does this.

Business schools teach theory. Outdoor providers build resilience. Coaches develop self-awareness.

Leadership in Management integrates all of it - immersive residential, outdoor challenge, behavioural psychology, cross-sector peer feedback and six months of preparation and embedding - in one programme.

The proof is in what changes back at work.

Over 50 years. More than 80,000 leaders. Our work has contributed to results including:

£100,000+

Cost savings within three months. Hart Security - their Group Finance Manager applied LM insight to identify efficiencies, described by the CEO as one of their best leadership investments.

£26m

Revenue growth in four months. Goodpack - leaders applied LM learning to retain key accounts, recover costs 50% faster and reduce CEO escalations.

£12m to £18m

Turnover growth alongside team expansion. WashCo - LM helped reset leadership capability so the business could scale confidently as demand increased.

86%

Staff engagement, with staff turnover falling to below 7%. Melton Foods - managers built the trust and consistency that made people choose to stay.
