Since 1921 Mira Showers has been leading the way in the UK showering market, offering high quality showering solutions to the individual and the contract market; including showers, fittings, enclosures, trays and wall panels.

LGC have extensively worked with Mira supporting the development of their newly appointed Team Leaders. The programme known as the Leadership Foundation Programme (LFP) was divided into three key modules and challenged the Team Leaders to focus on the expectations of Leadership, their approach and the development of their teams. Quality assurance was gained by endorsement by the institute of Leadership and Management (ilm)

Over time the programme was also seen as an opportunity to develop senior operators who had been identified as potential Leaders for the future. Adjustments were made to accommodate the additional needs of this group:

• Development plans were identified, focusing the delegates ongoing learning
• Personal Challenges were allocated providing opportunity for the delegates to take responsibility for an aspect of Leadership within their current teams

An employee survey had revealed that there was a need to develop the Leadership talent, individuals clearly indicated their desire for promotion to Team Leading roles and the business need was in support of their request.

The group were from mixed backgrounds and levels of experience, but all were knowledgeable and full of potential. The programme took them on a journey through 5 modules, developing self-awareness and confidence, the modules being:

• Leadership Focus
• Leadership Communication skills
• Managing Performance & Difficult Conversations
• Engaging & Developing Teams
• Coaching and Developing Teams

The programme culminated with each delegate presenting their ‘Achievements’ and their future development needs. It was an opportunity to shine as the audience was compiled of the Managing Director and the Senior Management team. This process created a buzz in the business, raising their profiles and developing a greater sense of personal confidence.
