Leadership Training Course

Essential Leadership Development

In these times of increasing austerity and talk of tightening belts it is becoming increasingly important to make the best use of the resources you have available. For many in the future this will mean doing more with less. This means getting the best performance possible from the staff you are responsible for even if the numbers are less than previous. This is why it is of the utmost importance that you and your team leaders/managers have the necessary leadership skills to maximise the performance of staff and get that extra discretionary effort required  in these potentially testing times.

We have developed this  leadership training course  with these issues in mind. It focuses on two areas. Firstly  ‘Understanding the management role’, and secondly we concentrate on, ‘Assessing your own leadership capability and performance’.

Course Objectives

The objective is to gain a greater understanding of the nature of the middle manager role and assess their ability to perform this effectively. Topics covered include appreciating the role and behaviour of middle managers in enabling an organisation to achieve its goals, understanding the factors that affect interpersonal relationships in the workplace and evaluating personal development opportunities to improve managerial and leadership ability.

We will examine the following topics:-

Understanding the Role
