Leading and Managing People

11 - 12 June 2008, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W1J 0BA, UK

Overview

It is the leader's responsibility to help set and maintain direction, coach and support. The manager mobilises energy around those things that need changing while maintaining the quality and standards of those things that do not need changing. There is a popular myth that leaders are born, not made. This is not a myth that we subscribe to. Anyone can learn the skills of leadership and exercise them more or less effectively.

This is a two day course; one day on the basics and a second day focusing on more advanced skills.

Objectives

The objectives of the first day are to develop your skills in:

• Giving direction
• Planning and allocating work
• Delegating

The objectives of the second day are to develop the softer skills of: 

• Situational leadership
• Motivating and gaining commitment
• Maintaining high performance

Key features

These courses are highly interactive to ensure that you remain motivated and interested. They are experiential rather than lecture-based, enabling you to learn by doing rather than by listening and they are practical to ensure that the skills you learn have an immediate and positive impact at work.

Benefits to you and your organisation

• An organisation needs leaders at all levels of the organisation, not just at the top. This course begins the process of developing you into a leader 
• You identify your own strengths and development needs in the leadership role 
• By giving you strategies and techniques for managing others, increase you confidence in taking the leadership role
