INTRODUCTION
The mark of a true leader is how many people are willing to follow them. These courses are specially designed to highlight the necessary management skills that are vital for effective leadership. Managers and leaders come in many different shapes and sizes, and their responsibilities can be varied. However, the most important skill any manager can have is the ability to communicate openly and honestly with those under their employ. These programmes show delegates the key to building lasting workplace relationships whilst developing core leadership skills and productivity strategies.
Our courses cover a range of topics depending on our clients’ needs. They are designed to be bespoke and responsive, as we know that every manager is different. Although key topics such as time management, managing distractions and building an effective team will be covered, we will also look at the finer points of leadership, such as how behaviour and communication can be used as a core influencing tool.
Our Programmes:
Empower Leadership Programme
Our Empower Leadership Programme is designed to equip managers with the knowledge and skills required to be high-performing and confident leaders. The programme will provide delegates with the tools to create the right working environment for their teams, implement process improvements and facilitate the delivery of successful projects.
Utilise the experiences of your peers (and your course leader) to broaden your intellectual horizons and your understanding of what it means to be an effective leader. We believe that, through learning and group participation, all delegates will increase their capacity for management, learn how to assess the impact of their behaviours, and identify areas for improvement.
This course seeks to teach delegates how to review the way in which they work and develop their management skills.
