Course description

People often forget that management is a profession in its own right, like any other, requires specific skills that go beyond the technical expertise any professional will no doubt have shown to be awarded a managerial role.

- Motivating and leading others
- Training new team members
- Dealing with conflict
- Delegating
- Communicating effectively
- Evaluating performance and giving feedback

By the end of the course, participants will have the tools and confidence to perform their management duties effectively for maximum results.

Engaging, energetic and there was never a dull moment. The course content was relevant and I am taking a great deal away from this experience
We didn't just learn - we explored together. Everything was shown in practice - it was ALL relevant. It wasn't stuffy, I felt at ease and supported
