    Welcome to your Leadership Development Programme!

    The programme will enable you to develop a practical approach to developing your leadership and management skills and to understand the leadership and cultural developments that have occurred at MacTaggart Scott.

    It will give you the opportunity to explore practical skills and tools, to think about how you motivate and engage with others in the business and how you can work together to address challenges and issues. 

    In particular, the programme will support you to:

    • Identify your leadership style and understand how it can impact others
    • Understand your leadership role and how to support the cultural change that is underway at MacTaggart Scott
    • Explore how to create an engaging and respectful working environment drawing on the “Working Together” approach
    • Work even more effectively together and develop a strong and supportive network of peers

    • Approach to Learning

      We deliver our programmes in leadership, entrepreneurship and social impact using action learning that is supported by Kolb’s learning cycle. This means that learners experience a responsive process that helps them to really learn, rather than simply receive information they may quickly forget.
