Leicestershire Leaders

About Us

Leicestershire Leaders is a collaborative of headteachers and system leaders across Leicestershire and Leicester City designed to provide additional support and training opportunities for new and existing headteachers and to signpost those provided by existing organisations.

We aim to provide opportunities and networking to those in a highly accountable, challenging and possibly isolated role, to collaboratively improve the experiences of pupils and staff across Leicestershire by helping to support and enable the performance and well-being of Leicestershire Leaders.

Addressing common difficulties and barriers and achieving an effective mix of challenge and support within a crucial relationship.

One of the most challenging parts of managing staff is initiating conversations around sensitive topics. School Leaders who avoid difficult conversations risk undermining their own position and potentially losing credibility with staff.  Therefore, being able to tackle contentious issues and deal with the inevitable ‘curve ball’ in a balanced, calm and consistent way is a valuable skill in all areas of working life. In a workplace context these skills can help promote productive and engaged teams and a better managed workforce. This interactive workshop will address ways in which you can approach complex cases and provide an opportunity for us to offer solutions to deal with these challenging conversations to be successful in managing staffing issues without falling foul of employment law.   Immerse yourself in a safe environment where you will get hands on experience of how to manage discussions around a range of awkward subjects including personality clashes, discipline, performance and conveying dismissal.
