Leading from the Front
Programme Overview & Summary
Leading from the Front is an immersive learning experience for frontline team leaders and supervisors. The programme provides a foundation of essential knowledge and skills that team leaders and supervisors need to perform their role, giving consideration to challenges they face. The programme supports understanding what good leadership looks, feels and sounds like, including topics on leading and getting the best from others, communication, feedback and influence.
The programme aims to connect team leaders and supervisors with Network Rail’s wider vision, purpose & values and the GBR direction - particularly valuable and relevant for those colleagues who are stepping into a leadership role for the first time.
