Background

The COVID 19 crisis is the ultimate test of management and leadership – a sudden dramatic, life threatening upheaval, where the outcomes are uncertain.

In this extraordinarily difficult time, the value of great management and leadership is being demonstrated every day – whether it’s senior leaders in government or managers on the frontline of healthcare and retail.

The VLA is using the might of it’s Chartered Management Institute accreditation and ten years of management development experience to invite managers and leaders to participate in a learning conversation.

Our webinar for Managing the New Normal is a free introductory webinar introducing our new innovative way of developing managers and leaders in the covid crisis. Participants will be provided with a thought provoking exercise prior to the webinar. The aim is to help them to reflect on how they or their organisation have managed the crisis.

During the webinar we will discuss five key themes that the crisis has presented us: flexible working, crisis management, mental health & wellbeing, the new employment landscape and the new good governance. Participants will be encouraged to discuss their experience around each of the themes. They will then be presented with information and support to guide them through each of the covid challenges.

After the webinar participants will be provided with access to our online learning system with a host of resources, information, tools and templates to support them in these key areas.

The aim of the webinar is to introduce you to our VLA management tutors, resources, tools and templates. We very much hope you can attend and join us in a learning conversation.
