Centrica – Senior Leader Development Programme

Editor’s Letter

In 2021-2024 we aligned the business on the need for a single approach to senior leader development with the design and launch of the Senior Leader Development Programme. Working in business units and functions, and highlighting the need to change mindset in how we look at performance and change, we have driven the focus on connecting the SLT to work as a team across the business, removing inefficiency and enabling growth. Going forward, and in service of delivering our Purpose and Strategy, we will target leadership strengths and scaled application of the learning, thus enabling leaders and teams to perform and excel. The Elective Modules will help to: • Define personal needs or gaps in knowledge and skills. • Identify and target learning that is aligned to our strategic capability risks. • Describe what good leadership looks like at Centrica, now and in the future. • Create an environment where we actively respect and value difference in our people. • Develop the conditions for team effectiveness. • Assess the change that our teams are facing and deliver meaningful interventions. • Apply an integrated approach to coaching and organisational needs. Summary • Team Effectiveness – a range of resources aligned to our TEAM diagnostic and model; focussing on trust, enabling, accountable and meaning. • Co aching programmes – apply for short form or executive coaching programmes. • Ho gan Leadership Assessments – 360 and self-assessments that measure how others see us (reputation) versus how we see ourselves (identity). • Systems and Design Thinking – 2-day workshop to experience the behaviours and mindsets required for complex problem solving. Coached team sprint (over 8-12 weeks) to accelerate impact on a specific business challenge. • Half day modules – 16 standalone skills-based workshops that are practical and focussed. We recognise the range of leadership development experience - some of you might be refreshing your skills, or undertaking development on the different themes for the first time. Once we have enough expressions of interest for the workshops we’ll start scheduling the sessions. We can also schedule sessions for intact groups, delivered at a venue of your choice.
