LEAP: Shaping the Future of Leadership at Novuna
Since its launch in October, our LEAP (LEAdership in Practice) programme has aimed to transform leadership development at Novuna. Designed to build a consistent and inclusive leadership culture across the business, LEAP ensures that our people, at every level, gain the skills, knowledge, and behaviours needed to lead effectively.
What Makes LEAP a Game-Changer?
At Novuna, we believe outstanding leadership isn't just for senior managers—it's for everyone. LEAP is ILM-assured and has the highest accreditation from the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM). The programme offers structured learning designed to develop leadership capability, strengthen teamwork, and empower individuals to drive success within our organisation.
Key Benefits of LEAP:
- Enhancing leadership skills: Equipping individuals with the tools to effectively lead themselves and their teams.
- Building trust and engagement: Encouraging open communication and collaboration within teams.
- Driving an inclusive culture: Ensuring leadership at Novuna is consistent, supportive, and people-focused.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Feedback from our colleagues across Consumer Finance and Business Cash Flow highlights the programme's effectiveness:
- 95% of Consumer Finance participants were satisfied or very satisfied with their training.
- 96% found the content relevant to their roles.
- 97% rated facilitation as good or excellent.
"I enjoyed all five topics—it helped me see scenarios and people differently while also helping me grow personally and professionally," shared one participant.
Leadership in Action: A Word from Our Team
Our Learning & Leadership Development Manager, Sam Campbell, has seen first-hand how LEAP is making a difference:
"I've loved delivering the sessions and seeing our people engage with leadership principles in a practical and impactful way. The programme isn't just about learning; it's about applying these insights to make a real difference in their roles."
Leadership Development Partner Josh Lister added:
"People have truly embraced the content, diving into complex conversations around topics like psychological safety. Both managers and individual contributors are already applying what they've learned."
What's Next for LEAP?
LEAP's roll-out has just begun. With our Vehicle Solutions colleagues starting their journey in February, we're continuing to expand the reach of this transformative programme. As more people participate, we move closer to our goal: an inclusive leadership culture that is empowering and reflective of Novuna's values.
