Results and Impact Describes a presentation given by Sue Peters (LEAD Director - Institute for Entrepreneurship (IEED) Lancaster University Business School), Lesley Swinn (Director of Buy the House http://www.buy-the-house.co.uk, a

participant on the LEAD programme), and Sarah Robinson (Lecturer in

Management Learning Open University Business School), who researched

and evaluated the programme. The presentation focused on the case of LEAD, a management development programme run for SME owner mangers at Lancaster University. It concentrated on how the course built up leadership skills and capacities among SME owner managers in the North East of England and how the building of communities of practice amongst the owner managers was a key factor in the success of the programme. Sue gave the background to the programme, Lesley spoke of her experience on the programme and how it has helped her subsequently in developing her leadership abilities and then Sarah talked about what we had learned about the nature of SME leadership learning and the importance of building SME communities.
