This report presents anonymised insights from the first module of a three-part learning journey with 250 staff and their leaders. The exercise mapped competencies across both groups, highlighting strengths, gaps, and opportunities to shape the next stages of the programme.
Key Highlights
- Communication: Rated highly by both staff and leaders, forming a strong foundation for collaboration.
- Agility & Problem-Solving: Generally positive across both groups, with leaders showing slightly higher confidence.
- Planning & Organising: Significant gap between staff (lower confidence) and leaders (high confidence), pointing to challenges in translating planning into daily clarity.
- Learning: Leaders show steady confidence, while staff ratings are more variable, suggesting uneven learning opportunities.
- Manager Conversations & Coaching: One of the lowest-rated areas for staff, highlighting a critical development need for leaders to foster stronger feedback and growth dialogues.
Why It Matters
The findings provide a baseline understanding of current capabilities, where alignment exists, and where mismatches could undermine trust, collaboration, and performance. These insights directly inform the design of subsequent modules, ensuring targeted, practical development for both staff and leaders.
