As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create a leadership training programme.

What to actually do

1. Use a tool built for this

   The route this page recommends

2. Do it yourself

   Second choice

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open a document and record the audience, leadership problems, business goals, programme length, session duration, delivery format, participant experience and practical constraints.
   2. Gather your organisation's leadership framework, values, relevant policies, previous training feedback, role profiles and examples of real management situations, removing unnecessary personal data.
   3. Paste the gathered information into the prompt and ask the chatbot to produce the full programme, including objectives, session plans, exercises, assessments, facilitator notes and resources.
   4. Ask the chatbot to turn the draft into a delivery schedule and separate facilitator guide, participant materials and pre-work, while marking every assumption it has made.
   5. Ask an HR or learning and development colleague to compare the objectives and activities with your leadership framework, policies, accessibility requirements and real workplace situations.
   6. Run one session or a small pilot, collect participant and facilitator feedback, and update the programme before sending the final version to the accountable sponsor for approval.

   Prompt

   Create a practical leadership training programme for [organisation or team] in the UK.
   
   Audience: [job levels, roles and number of participants]
   Business goals: [what should improve]
   Leadership problems to address: [specific behaviours or situations]
   Existing leadership framework or values: [paste details or write none]
   Programme length and delivery format: [for example, six sessions over three months, in person or online]
   Available time per session: [duration]
   Participant experience level: [new, experienced or mixed]
   Constraints: [budget, technology, accessibility, language, shift patterns and policies]
   Evidence or internal material to use: [paste material here]
   
   Produce:
   1. A concise programme rationale and measurable learning outcomes.
   2. A session-by-session plan with timings, objectives, activities, facilitator instructions, materials and participant outputs.
   3. Practical exercises based on realistic workplace situations, including difficult conversations, feedback, delegation, performance support, inclusion and decision-making where relevant.
   4. A method for checking learning and workplace application after each session.
   5. A facilitator guide and participant pre-work.
   6. A delivery schedule, resource list and risks.
   
   Use plain British English. Separate facts taken from my material from your suggestions. Do not invent company policies, legal requirements, research findings or organisational facts. Flag any decision that needs input from HR, an employment lawyer, senior leadership or an experienced learning and development professional. Make the programme inclusive and accessible, but do not claim it will produce a particular business result without evidence.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.

3. Hand it to a person

   The distant third

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.
