Flexible opportunities for continuous development for current and aspiring leaders.
Although we have over 100 additional seats on UCL Leadership Programmes in 2023, demand for leadership development will likely outstrip the current provision. While long-form leadership training is limited, Organisational Development provides flexible opportunities for continuous development for current and aspiring leaders.
