[Get in touch](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/contact-us) ## Leadership Training & Development ### We adopt a unique practice and feedback-based approach with the use of high-quality filming of simulated scenarios to drive self-awareness and develop new behaviours. The best leadership course is one which is tailored to the needs of the employees and aligned with the needs of the company. It’s a proven fact that the effective leadership of a business or major project is a critical component of business success. This is not something which is achieved overnight and providing the best training regularly to employees, managers and senior leaders so that behaviours are developed consistently at all levels of the company and over a period of time is vital to ensuring the learning is embedded in the company’s DNA. ## What Is Corporate Leadership Training? We are often asked ‘What makes for good corporate leadership training?’ The answer is unique for every firm but ultimately corporate leadership training is a structured program designed to develop the skills, knowledge, and behaviours necessary for effective leadership within an organisation. The goal is to prepare current and potential leaders to lead teams, manage resources, and drive the company towards its strategic goals. Most organisations have a strong handle on developing the skills and knowledge for their field of expertise but aren’t well placed to support developing their behaviours. This is where we can help. ## How Is Our Training Different? **Practical Tools,** Real-World Scenarios: Learn and apply skills immediately. **Expert Scenario Simulations:** Practise challenging conversations in a safe, realistic environment with our expert scenario consultants. **Performance Review & Feedback:** By recording and watching back the practice scenarios, you're able to gain valuable insights that can have a lasting impact on behaviour. [Get in touch](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/get-in-touch) ## Why Leadership Training Fails And How To Prevent This Most leadership [training doesn’t work](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/blog/why-most-training-doesnt-work) because it is focused on theories and generic content. The practising of the required skills is minimal and not placed in the context of the learners.  The best leadership training is tailored to the individual and their organisation, it provides various opportunities to practise and develop the skills learned in a safe environment, it gives them the opportunity to look at their progress, review it and identify strengths and areas for development before giving them the opportunity to ‘go again’ and it builds on what they can already do; developing confidence and competence, hand-in-hand.  Good leaders develop their people and good leaders know who to turn to in order to support them to do this well. There are a number of different applications for leadership skills in the workplace depending on your organisation’s need.  Each of these may require a different solution and approach.  [![pdw-leadership-behaviour-cta](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/pdw-leadership-behaviour-cta.webp)](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/business-training-courses/leadership-development-training/leadership-behaviour) [![pdw-strategic-thinking-cta](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/pdw-strategic-thinking-cta.webp)](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/business-training-courses/leadership-development-training/strategic-thinking) Do you want to find out more? Click the button below to learn about our unique experiential training solutions. [Want to know how it works?](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/our-workshop-proposition) Our experience tells us there are four reasons to develop leadership in your organisation, and these are displayed below. ## The Four Applications for Leadership Development Many companies invest significantly in training & development, but are often not clear on why they are doing it.  Regularly it appears to be little more than just ‘feeling the need to just invest in our senior people’. So start by asking, why you want to invest in your leaders, which leaders should be involved and how the investment should be made. If you do this properly, then the solution we can provide will be perfectly tailored to exactly what you want it to be.  This means your leaders will be much more likely to achieve their aims and the ideal outcomes for your business. The four ‘reasons to invest’ are below. ![PDW-Venue-Edited-50-1440x960](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/PDW-Venue-Edited-50-1440x960.webp?width=1440&height=960&name=PDW-Venue-Edited-50-1440x960.webp "PDW-Venue-Edited-50-1440x960") - Day to day **[leadership behaviour](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/business-training-courses/leadership-development-training/leadership-behaviour)**, capability and confidence - **[Strategic thinking](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/business-training-courses/leadership-development-training/strategic-thinking)** and working ON the business - **[Developing leadership team units](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/blog/get-best-team)** into high performing teams - Leading change, or a major project such as a business acquisition [Want to get in touch?](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/get-in-touch) ## Testimonial ### Here’s what Teleware had to say about PDW “Particularly good feedback from the team on all the practise sessions as this really brings the theory to life – and a great team helping to do that.” ![teleware](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/teleware.webp) Steve Howarth, CEO ![Screen-Shot-2017-08-02-at-13.54.12](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/Screen-Shot-2017-08-02-at-13.54.12.webp) ### We're proud to have provided leadership training & development to some fantastic clients - ![kreston-reeves](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/kreston-reeves.webp) - ![walker-morris](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/walker-morris.webp) - ![center-parcs](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/center-parcs.webp) - ![pdw-holland-barrett](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/pdw-holland-barrett.webp) - ![kaplan](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hubfs/PDW_Theme_2024/Images/kaplan.webp) ### Our Unique Approach to Leadership Development   We have years of experience working with businesses across the UK & Europe.
