Hand new leaders the manual nobody gave them — in two practical days you can deliver next month.
Leadership Development Fundamentals is a practice-based 2-day programme for people in their first 1–3 years of leading a team: communication, feedback, delegation, difficult conversations and self-awareness, with nine core frameworks and a 30-day action plan. Written by Bodhih Training and ready to brand.
- Nine core leadership frameworks and tools, each embedded in practice rather than slides
- Covers the conversations new leaders avoid: feedback, delegation, accountability and difficult conversations
- Participants leave with a Personal Leadership Philosophy and a 30-Day Action Plan
- A 30-day and 90-day follow-through structure with a short manager check-in built in
Leadership Development Fundamentals Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Everyone asks for 'basic leadership'
It's the most common training request and the easiest to do badly. Covering communication, feedback, delegation and difficult conversations in two days — with real practice — needs a tightly built design.
New leaders don't need more theory
They need to walk out able to have the conversation they've been putting off. Lecture-heavy fundamentals courses leave them with a notebook and a good feeling, not new behaviour.
Learning that fades by Friday
Without an action plan, peer accountability and a manager check-in, two days of development rarely survives the first busy week back.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Picture a room of people who were promoted because they were good at the job, and then left to work out leadership alone. You open by asking what leadership really requires of them — and what they need to let go of. Heads nod. This is the conversation none of them has had yet.
Across the first day you build self-awareness about their impact on the team and move into communication that sets clear expectations. Then comes feedback: practising a structured feedback model on real situations, with peers who face the same challenges. The Facilitator Guide sets out every activity and every debrief.
Day 2 turns to delegation without losing control, goal-setting and accountability, and the difficult conversations that turn into crises when they're left too long. Participants draft a Personal Leadership Philosophy and a 30-Day Action Plan, and agree a partner to hold them to it.
Once the first cohort has been through it, you'll notice how naturally their managers start asking when the next one runs.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Leadership Development Fundamentals with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.

Already bought? Resend my linkWhat should a leadership fundamentals programme for new managers cover?
This programme covers the skills new leaders most often wish they'd learned earlier: the shift from doing to leading, self-awareness, clear communication, feedback, delegation, goal-setting and accountability, and difficult conversations — all practised, not just explained.
Is this leadership programme suitable for virtual delivery?
It is designed as an in-person workshop with a virtual option, and the toolkit includes a Virtual Delivery Guide for adapting the practice activities online.
How do I make sure new leaders apply what they learn?
Each participant leaves with a 30-Day Action Plan and an accountability partner, and their manager is briefed to hold a short 30-day check-in. The Marketing Toolkit includes a manager briefing note for exactly this.

The toolkit includes its own assessment instruments and feedback form. For a scored pre- and post-workshop measure, pair it with an assessment from AssessAll, Bodhih's sister assessment platform — for example Aspiring Leader Readiness Assessment or First-Time Manager Readiness Assessment. If nothing fits, you can build your own assessment on AssessAll or ask the AssessAll team to create one for you.
