Target audience: All staff (Academic and Professional Services) with or taking on management/leadership responsibilities. This workshop may also provide a useful refresher for more experienced managers.

Being a new manager and leader involves taking on fresh responsibilities and embracing a different mindset. As a manager, you transition from a colleague who contributes to the team's work to someone who delivers results through others.

This workshop will support new or aspiring managers to recognise the difference between leadership and management, give you an opportunity to reflect on your own leadership/management style and identify areas they might want to develop or build on.

The purpose of the workshop is to help colleagues to transition from a non-management role to becoming a people manager by raising awareness of the mindset shift required, leadership styles and core practices to being an effective manager and a leader at Sussex.

Please note, you will be asked to complete 'Working Styles' self-assessment and read through the Sussex Leader and Manager Competency Framework in advance of this workshop. Circa 30 min of your time in total.

Learning outcomes:

• Describe what it means to be a leader and manager for you and at Sussex

• Identify expectations for leaders and managers at Sussex

• Recognise difference between leading and managing; your priorities as a leader; how and when to do both

• Explore some leadership and management styles and start shaping your own style

• Consider the different working styles in teams and the need to adapt your own to influence, engage with and deliver results through others.
