Training

Training programmes

You are a new manager making the transition from managing yourself to managing others. You may not be sure what is expected of you in your new role or what skills and behaviours will lead to success. Alternatively, you may be an existing manager who has had little or no management training. The transition from team member to team leader is about getting things done and achieving results through others, rather than doing everything yourself. You may find that the skills you have developed so far are very different from those required to lead, coach and motivate others.

This programme will give you a solid base of practical knowledge and skills so that you can return to work confident you can make a valuable contribution in a management role.

Benefits

By the end of the programme you will be able to:

• understand your role and responsibilities as a manager

• develop an authentic leadership style that works for you
• provide clarity and direction for members of your team

Approach 

The programme is practical, participative and fun. Case studies and exercises are used to explore different situations and new behaviours and skills. Participants also draw on their experiences and are encouraged to reflect, discuss and learn from examples of good and poor management practice. There is a pre-course diagnostic to help participants prepare and we use a range of self-analysis questionnaires and profiling tools during the programme.

Who should attend? 

Anyone who is new to management, or is an aspiring manager or an existing manager who has never received formal training.
