Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
This module explores how you come to see yourself as a leader, how others come to see you as one, and why confidence is not the same as competence. It draws on Ely, Ibarra and Kolb on leadership identity, Ibarra's possible selves, Eagly's meta-analysis, Chamorro-Premuzic, Clance and Imes on the imposter phenomenon, Tulshyan and Burey, Ellis's ABCDE model and the life of Dame Stephanie Shirley. This module examines why good work rarely speaks for itself at senior levels, and how to be seen, heard and credited in ways that fit your values. It covers Babcock and colleagues' research on non-promotable work, French and Raven's bases of power, power and interest mapping, personal brand, Kanter's work on tokens, practical moves for being heard, and amplification in the Obama White House.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Explain how leadership identity develops through being seen, and seeing yourself, as a leader, and why identity comes before skills.
- Distinguish confidence from competence, using the evidence on how leaders perform and how they are selected, and recognise the imposter phenomenon for what it is.
- Apply Ellis's ABCDE model, alongside attention to context, to work with self-doubt in yourself and in the people you lead.
- Explain how non-promotable work and credit attribution create a visibility gap, and plan a strategic no or a fairer sharing of that work.
- Use French and Raven's bases of power and a power and interest grid to identify your sources of influence and the stakeholders who matter.
