Grow Your Leadership

About Grow Your Leadership

‘Grow Your Leadership’ is a new leadership offer that we are offering to everyone working in the MoJ including colleagues working in probation. The sessions are open to all 82,000 people working in the MoJ, regardless of role or grade.

In last year’s People Survey, people expressed an interest in more opportunities to grow and develop themselves and these sessions aim to enable more people to access learning for those who want to develop themselves.

The Grow Your Leadership sessions are a brand-new way of expanding your leadership potential through bitesize activities that fit around your schedule. You can look forward to keynote speakers and workshops with industry experts online, along with a self-paced online course on the social learning platform Future Learn.

Session structure

This self-paced, online course focuses on ‘How to lead others and build effective teams’.  The course will cover topics such as:

  • De-bunking the myth of the superhero leader and identifying your strengths
  • Explain the difference between leadership and management
  • Develop skills for creating a psychologically safe team
  • Discuss ways to overcome failure
  • Explore how the theory around high reliability can impact leadership in the wider organisation

The sessions cover topics around psychological safety, trust and the importance of building inter-personal relationships at work.

The course will start Monday 7th November. The course is divided into three modules over three weeks and you can work through it at your own pace. The very approximate time commitment is two hours per week but you might spend more or less. In between, you’ll be able to listen to live keynote sessions by experts and leaders across a range of fields and you can complete the online course at your own pace at a time that suits you. There is 6 hours worth of learning which you can dip in and out of.

The Grow Your Leadership Sessions have now launched on the MoJ intranet and to you need to register to take part.
