Introduction: Analysing your existing team leading abilities
We will use this Skills Analysis to help shape your planned programme and identify areas where we can offer additional support or apply an amended programme. Where you have pre-existing skills we will stretch and challenge to further develop your abilities with the overall objective of completing the programme at a distinction level.

A Team Leader/Supervisor is a first line management role, with operational/project responsibilities or responsibility for managing a team to deliver a clearly defined outcome. They provide direction, instructions and guidance to ensure the achievement of set goals. Working in the private, public or third sector and in all sizes of organisation, specific responsibilities will vary, but the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed will be the same whatever the role.
Key responsibilities are likely to include supporting, managing and developing team members, managing projects, planning and monitoring workloads and resources, delivering operational plans, resolving problems, and building relationships internally and externally.
Roles/Occupations may include: Supervisor, Team Leader, Project Officer, Shift Supervisor, Foreperson, and Shift Manager.
If you do not think your job role or the role you will have when you start the programme is in line with the description above, at the end of the skills analysis you can select that you do not think the programme suits your role. It is still worthwhile answering the questions as it may help us identify future learning opportunities.
