Training programmes
The Experienced Manager
As an experienced manager operating in
a competitive business environment, you
must recruit, motivate, develop and retain high
calibre people, in order to deliver sustainable
improvements in business performance. And
next year you will have to do the same again.
You are ready to step off the treadmill for two days and review and improve your performance. This programme provides the opportunity to gain new insights, learn new skills and explore new behaviours with other like-minded managers to ensure that you stay ahead of the field.
Benefits
By the end of the programme you will be able to:
- understand a wider range of leadership styles
- be more flexible in your choice of leadership behaviour
- set expectations and achieve business goals
- demonstrate greater awareness of your impact on others
- communicate more effectively at all levels
- take robust, good quality business decisions
- make a broader contribution that adds greater value to both your functional area and the business as a whole.
Approach
Sessions are led by experienced facilitators who can vary the content to suit the needs of the group. Participants say that this flexible approach means that experienced managers obtain great value because relevant issues are addressed and consequently they feel a real sense of ownership.
Participants work through a self-directed learning guide in advance that provides a valuable refresher of key management concepts, and helps participants to arrive well prepared. This ensures that they gain maximum benefit from the facilitated sessions. As well as relevant exercises and case studies, we encourage participants to draw on their own experiences as managers and bring current issues and opportunities to the table for discussion, and hopefully, resolution!
Who should attend?
Any manager or professional who wants to refresh and improve their leadership and management capabilities.
