How TypeFi is Creating a Happy Workplace with the Level 7 Programme
The
Level 7 Senior Leadership programme
is paid for from the Apprenticeship Levy if you have over £3 million in payroll. If not, the government pays 95% of it, so your organisation pays just £700 for a two-year leadership programme with monthly workshops and regular coaching.
“Your Level 7 Senior Leadership apprenticeship is absolutely brilliant,” says Jason Michell of TypeFi. “One of the best things I’ve done in the last decade. It’s the best money I’ve never spent.”
Love, Kindness and Patience are the Keys to Leadership, Says Caron Bradshaw
“Leadership is a term, much like ‘strategy’, that is misused and misunderstood. I don’t believe that being a leader is about being the CEO, hierarchy, wielding power and control or having all the answers. Yet leaders can have a hard time breaking out of the traditional concepts of leadership and embracing a different approach. And others fail to recognise their own leadership qualities considering themselves too junior or lacking that leadership ‘title’,” says Caron Bradshaw OBE.
Caron will be speaking at the 2024 Happy Workplaces Conference on 15th May on the topic of Leading with Love.
Giving Your Employees Freedom is the Key to Success, Says Isaac Getz
“In every aspect of our lives — in politics, in economics, in entertainment, and in family life — we demand the freedom to decide matters for ourselves. And yet when it comes to our work lives, far too many people are stifled, constrained, hemmed in, and tied down by bureaucracy and rules that have nothing to do with allowing them to do the best they can in their jobs. These constraints leave people feeling out of control of their work lives, which, in turn, leads to stress, fatigue, and disengagement from work.”
Isaac Getz is an author, senior business advisor and professor at the ESCP Business School. He is an instrumental figure in the modern corporate liberation movement and has worked with numerous companies across Europe and in Canada. Isaac will be speaking at our 2024 Happy Workplaces Conference on Wednesday 15th May.
How Michelle Hill Has Maintained TLC’s Culture Whilst Growing
“We’re a relationship charity, and we want to invest as much time in our team and their relationships at work as we do with our clients,” says Michelle Hill, CEO of TLC: Talk, Listen, Change. “We want them to have a workplace where they feel valued and where they want to do their best work. I think the more we invest in wellbeing and the team being happier, the better the results are.”
Michelle will be speaking at the 2024 Happy Workplaces Conference about maintaining your organisation’s culture whilst growing.
Our Next Level 7 Programme for Senior Leaders Starts in September
I once asked a panel of Deans of MBA programmes why they focused so much on strategy and finance and not so much on people. The response from Roger Martin, then Dean of the Rotman School of Management, was “we do the easy stuff.”
Our
Level 7 Senior Leadership Apprenticeship programme
, the equivalent of a post-graduate degree or MBA, is different. It is focused on people and how you create trust-based organisations where people can truly fulfil their potential.
Discover Which of Happy’s Leadership Courses is Right For You
We have workshops to suit all management levels and experience – but it can be hard to know which one is right for you.
All of our programmes use the same basic principles, as outlined in our CEO’s book,
The Happy Manifesto.
We are leading a movement towards teams built on trust and self-management, as we know this allows people to do their best work. We have helped hundreds of organisations improve their staff productivity, lower costs, increase retention and dramatically increase profits.
Here is our guide to some of our leadership programmes, and when they are next running as public dates (open to all), wherever you are on your leadership journey.
6 Years With No Decisions at Happy
It is now six years since I stopped, as a Founder, making decisions at Happy. And, no, I haven’t passed it onto anybody else. Decisions are made by those responsible or, if across the whole company, by everybody.

Why Stakeholders Matter When You’re Trying to Make a Change
When making a change it is always important to consider how it will impact others. There are those impacted that may be able to directly influence, help or hinder you along the way in making these changes – the stakeholders.
In this blog Rachael talks about the need to communicate and engage with these potential stakeholders to help ensure the changes you are making can take place smoothly and productively.
