Effective Leadership Development
A programme for managers. It builds the everyday skills of leading people: using authority well, managing time, delegating, communicating, motivating, and dealing with problems before they grow.
Managing people is a different job.
Most managers are promoted because they were good at the work, not because anyone showed them how to lead. Effective Leadership Development is designed for managers who recognise needs like these.
For managers who are responsible for other people's work, including those who are new to it.
-
Authority and discipline
You are not sure how firm to be, or how to hold people to account without damaging the relationship.
-
Delegation
Handing work over feels harder than doing it yourself, so it stays with you.
-
Problems with people
Small problems are dealt with late, and by then they are bigger problems.
-
Getting the best from people
You want to train, motivate and develop your people, and are not sure where to start.
