Good Employment Learning Lab establish what makes effective line manager skills development
The Good Employment Learning Lab at Manchester Metropolitan University have performed extensive research on what makes for effective skills development in line managers. Their research tells us about the key elements that can ensure leaders can experience real change in their practice.
You will find these elements in our programme; the aspect of playing golf after a masterclass gives you an added opportunity to consider and experiment with your learning further embedding your experiences.

Pepperdine University explores Golf as a tool for Executive Leadership development
Dawnet Beverley's 2014 research explored the link between golf principles and the principles of leadership and the actual potential contribution of golf to leadership development.
Her study explored the experience of 20 executive leaders and found that a majority of leaders "reported that golf had a strong, beneficial impact on them as leaders" and that it could develop "skills that enhanced the ability to manage themselves, manage others, and react to changing conditions and that these helped them become more effective leaders".
