In this section

Leaders and managers can use these resources to use with groups of workers to discuss what ‘everyday leadership’ is, why leadership skills in frontline workers are so important and how they can improve these skills.

We recommend each film and topic are covered in separate sessions, for example in team meetings for groups or during 1-1 supervisions with individual workers. Each activity is expected to take around 15 minutes.
