For two consecutive years, Grosvenor partnered with Diverse Leaders Network to deliver our Tomorrow’s Leaders Programme (TLP) at Pimlico Academy in Westminster. The TLP catered to up to 16 students and consisted of 10 sessions which were split into two parts. The first five sessions focused on preparing the mind for leadership by challenging students’ perceptions of what a leader looks like, assessing their own leadership style and evaluating the effectiveness of famous leaders. After the fifth session, students applied their leadership knowledge and skills to the Real Estate industry. Students were tasked with the challenge of solving real business problems set by staff volunteers at Grosvenor.

To develop on the success of the first year, the TLP became part of Grosvenor’s leadership development programme. This time, middle and senior leaders participating in Grosvenor’s leadership programme planned, resourced and co-delivered the sessions. This year, the challenges were even more ambitious. As it was the year of the London mayoral elections, students were asked to create a mayoral manifesto with a particular focus on housing and regeneration. In another challenge, students were given a budget of £200million and had a list of community needs they needed to consider. Students then had to decide which buildings they were going to give planning permission to and explain why.
Participating in these sessions gave Grosvenor insight into ideas and considerations from a young person’s perspective that they wouldn’t have otherwise had.
To end both programmes, students were invited to Grosvenor’s office in Mayfair to present their leadership speeches to the participating staff volunteers, other Grosvenor staff, parents and teachers.
