Management Training
Management Development Programs
You need to have creative and flexible ways of managing that enable you to work successfully.
Our management training provides evidence backed strategies and techniques that will help you manage better and become a management team.
The program of management workshops is practical in focus. You will have the opportunity to discuss and debate how you can implement ideas, theories and research findings and have the opportunity to put these into practice and then review the affects.
Perform under pressure. Learn evidence backed techniques to become more adept at dealing with challenges and have the ability to work through situations and to transcend day by day disturbances.
Managing pressures such as deadlines and targets requires a capacity to manage people effectively. We equip you with key emotional intelligence tools and practical tools such as delegation checklists to be better able to deal with both your own and other’s emotions and motivations, bring about change, and develop others effectively.
You will learn the both the big picture of management and how it relates to you specifically.
Example of a management development program:
1. Developing Your Team
An introduction to the TRIBE theory of team performance which shows team performance is driven by identity. Focusing on the five key identity drivers (Traditions, Relevance, Identity, Belonging, Effectiveness) we will discuss what is happening with these in relation to aspects such as trust, collaboration and performance, and agree practical ways of boosting some of these factors positively.
We will also learn about the core types of behaviour that drive effective management styles, identifying archetypes which are then discussed with reflection on the group. This allows the group to also gain insight into the teams social identity and the way it tends to operate and the culture this creates and discuss leadership traps that can be avoided when aiming to build more effective teams.
2. Developing People Effectively
Looking at the key areas that help create an empowered culture within the frame of developing individuals. We will discuss and practice coaching and training skills, identifying when each is an effective method to use. The coaching practice is also chance for colleagues to get to know each other better and examine current challenges. We will also discuss and practice effective delegating and the delivering of feedback and how these relate to those you manage.
3. Achieving The Task
Looking at leadership through the lens of values, purpose, and mission. We will discuss how these relate to leadership and when and where this fits within roles, as well as the importance of role modelling.
We will then come onto discuss management through the lens of expectation setting and performance management and look at how to agree priorities. We will look at the issues around effectiveness and delivery and how to handle these well and managers strengths and weaknesses in relation to these.
4. Emotional intelligence, Managing Change and Maintaining Wellbeing.
Looking at the four key aspects of emotional intelligence and how to develop these as a manager. We will also discuss how best to bring about and communicate change and mange peoples responses to change and tools and techniques for individuals to manage their resilience as well as map out areas where they find things more challenging.
5. Reflection
A practical follow up session six months after the first four sessions. This gives participants time to implement some of the ideas and techniques and then reflect on how this has gone. It is also a chance for us to cover any topics that now become relevant, answer outstanding questions and review progress and development. Includes timeline planning for future development as well as presenting back on what has been learnt, put into practice and the effect this has had, to members of the leadership team.
