The inaugural BAPO Leadership Programme was launched on the 25th November 2022. Sixteen candidates were shortlisted to attend this year’s programme.
BAPO have been successful in obtaining an educational grant from Health Educational England (HEE). The intention of this funding is to implement a professional development programme to support the next generation of leaders in P&O.
To be truly effective, leaders need to build a toolkit of knowledge, skills and behaviours that will set them, their teams and their organisations up for success.
It is BAPO’s aim to develop a programme which fulfils the delegates’ leadership expectations from both an operational and strategic perspective.
Good leadership starts with self-awareness, so effective leaders must develop an awareness of their strengths and weaknesses, their preferred style and approach, and their emotional triggers; and learn how to manage, mitigate and maximise these for the benefit of their teams.
To support this self-awareness the cohort on the BAPO Leadership programme will be invited to undertake profiling and personal assessment. This will take the form of a SpotlightPROFILE®.
