Optional Unit 5OS06 – Leadership and Management Development
The CIPD Level 5 unit 5OS06 (Leadership and Management Development) builds on the fundamentals of learning and development. It focuses on developing leaders and managers to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to drive a working environment which is cohesive, diverse, innovative and high-performing. It builds awareness of the right tools and approaches to facilitate development which will ultimately impact organisational effectiveness.
You will develop understanding of the factors that drive the need for leadership and management development within the organisation and examine the distinctive and interdependent nature of leadership and management.
