Programme Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle leadership can be considered as the conduit through which the organisational vision, goals and instructions are transferred. Hence, the Strategic Middle Leadership Initiative (SMLI) was developed to adequately prepare middle leaders with the skills needed to effectively manage, support and transfer ideas and information effectively. This course will, therefore, equip middle leaders with the tools necessary to allow the transfer of information and ideas in the most optimal manner, whilst managing the many possible conflicts, misunderstandings or disconnections that may arise.
The course comprises the following key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Leadership for personal growth and development<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Leadership for teaching and learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Leadership for capacity building<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Leadership and student behaviour management<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
