Whilst some people are ‘natural leaders’, most find leading and managing to be a challenging experience for which they have had little preparation. We believe that clear leadership and effective management skills can be developed and don’t require a ‘gift for leadership’.
Leading and managing is structured into four nonconsecutive full-day sessions. There is a pre-programme of self- and manager-assessment – so that the programme properly targets the areas which you and your organisation needs to develop. Includes personality profile – all delegates receive an Insights® personality profile, to help them better understand themselves and how they interact with others. Leading and managing is aimed at the middle-manager level, those new to their role, or those who have been performing their role for a while without formal training.
