Leadership and management essentials for high-end television freelancers

The scale and volume of today's high end drama productions mean that heads of department (HoDs)s are increasingly required to run larger teams and manage staff. Are they really getting the best from their teams, and addressing underperformance? Do they know how to deal with allegations of harassment or bullying? Or how to work inclusively - and improve the diversity of productions while staying within the law?
