Preparing for Senior Strategic Leadership
I found PSSL to be both hugely enjoyable and useful. It provided training and advice on an outstanding mix of 'hard' and 'soft' skills. An insight into the major issues facing higher education was supplemented by focused advice on strategy; while I believe that the lessons learned from the sessions on influencing and negotiating will remain with me always. I would thoroughly recommend PSSL, both to those who are sure that their future careers lie in senior university management and those who are still undecided.
