Leadership and management courses and resources

Leadership and management development

We recognise that colleagues lead and manage in many ways at Oxford. Perhaps you manage or lead a team? Maybe you have very few or no direct reports, but are responsible for delivering complex projects or programmes or are a thought leader in your field?
Whatever your role, you may find it helpful to consider this leadership framework, which describes the kinds of leadership activities and behaviours that colleagues across the University, in all roles, say are vital to success.
