Leadership Development Programme
The University is committed to nurturing and investing in our greatest asset – our employees. Apart from our regular learning and development provision, we start to offer the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) to our Non-Teaching staff, to align with and support the overarching objectives of HKBU’s long-term strategic plan from 2024.
The LDP is strategically designed to foster a leadership culture and equip our leaders with necessary skills to navigate and lead through our dynamic university environment. Participants will go through a 3D (Discover, Develop and Drive) learning journey, which facilitates them to grow and be inspired in a progressive way:
Programme Structure Overview
LDP has three levels, with each level designed for leaders at different job bands.
The programme for each level includes a core module focusing on different mindsets, complemented with a curated list of skills modules designed to equip our leaders with diverse skill sets. This structure ensures the development of our leader’s capabilities to meet with the evolving challenges.
ENVISION
For Team Heads (at Band H and G)
“ENVISION” is designed to enhance participants (who are team heads) to be visionary leaders. The programme focuses on cultivating leaders to adapt their leadership styles to diverse situations. Participants will understand and apply different leadership styles and skills, sharpen their strategic thinking and decision-making abilities, and manage innovation and change.
The programme focuses on strategic development which enhance leaders' ability to lead multiple teams and ensure they are well-prepared to contribute to the strategic success of the University.
