Creative Skillset have launched a new free leadership and management programme for heads of department (HoDs) on a production. HoDs are often managing people, but have few opportunities to receive training in management and leadership, particularly as creative ability is often a key driver for career advancement.
The High-end TV Craft and Tech Working Group commissioned me to design a bespoke course for high-end TV productions to introduce HR and leadership essentials for their HoDs. The half-day course is free to levy-paying productions and covers the skills needed to manage a team, be effective in crewing up, manage performance and deal with bullying and harassment as well as a basic introduction to personality styles and the impact of unconscious bias. Informative, accessible, bite- size and free - this course is a great starting point for anyone leading a department.
The course is open to levy-paying productions nationwide. If you are interested in finding out more information or would like to book a session for your HoD team, please contact me.
