The IMI Diploma in Leadership incorporates a number of innovative features. These include an emphasis on real-life leadership case studies and a series of question-and-answer sessions with senior Irish leadership figures. Each participant will also receive individual executive coaching and psychometric analysis of their leadership style. The programme incorporates a three-day intensive outdoor workshop in Connemara which will incorporate a demanding series of leadership exercises overseen by IMI executive coaches.

Classroom modules will examine the inner psychology of leadership, including the nature of one-to-one and one-to-team relationships. The dynamics of power and influence will be investigated, as will the organisational and moral responsibilities of leadership. The challenges of leading in the contemporary environment will receive particular attention – examining the leader’s role in managing crises, shaping change and nurturing organisational morale.

Learning objectives

As a participant on the IMI Diploma in Leadership you will:

  • Undertake a personal journey - developing a detailed understanding of your leadership style and development areas and enhancing your capabilities
  • Analyse how your personal leadership style matches the needs and demands of your organisation
  • Develop and apply a comprehensive toolkit of best-practice leadership techniques
  • Critically analyse and subsequently impact, the leadership culture, processes, and needs of your organisation
  • Formulate a comprehensive range of practical recommendations for developing best-practice leadership throughout your organisation. 

Three Steps to a Master of Business Award

The IMI’s Master of Business (MoB) is an innovatively designed framework tailored to accelerate your professional development in a uniquely flexible manner. The MoB allows you to combine ‘credit’ for completing certain IMI courses and ultimately earn an internationally recognised, nationally accredited Master of Business qualification.

The Diploma in Leadership is part of the MoB framework, together with the following Diplomas:

  • Diploma in Business Finance
  • Diploma in Strategic Marketing with Digital Marketing
  • Diploma in Strategic Human Resources Management
  • Diploma in Executive Coaching
  • Diploma in Management
  • Diploma in Strategy and Innovation
  • Diploma in Cloud Strategy
  • Diploma in Regulatory Management
  • Diploma in Organisational Behaviour

In order to be conferred with a Master of Business qualification, you must: Step 1 - Successfully complete any one of the IMI’s suite of Diploma programmes. Step 2 - Successfully complete a second IMI Diploma of your choosing. Step 3- Successfully complete a Business Project (15,000 word dissertation). These steps can be completed as quickly as three years, or up to five years – whichever suits your personal, work and learning needs best.
