ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership & Management

The ILM Level 3 award is a fantastic grounding for any first line manager who wishes to learn some of the basic principles of line management as well as gaining a professional and internationally recognised qualification.

The course is run over 4 consecutive days as a block residential course in Keswick and 4 separate days run over 6 weeks at our Central London venue.

According to a recent Gallup survey, only one in 10 managers has the core skills needed to be a great manager… and the core skills are…

They motivate every single employee to take action and engage them with a compelling mission and vision.

They have the assertiveness to drive outcomes and the ability to overcome adversity and resistance.

They create a culture of clear accountability.

They build relationships that create trust, open dialogue, and full transparency.

They make decisions that are based on productivity, not politics.

‘To address this need the Results Driven Group have developed a programme that is exciting, engaging and challenging which is our ILM Level 3 Award in Leadership and Management’

This experiential programme is delivered as four day residential course at our teambuilding facilities in Keswick, Cumbria where we make use of the vista and geography of the Lake District on each day of the programme. The programme is also delivered as a four day open course in London.
