MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COURSE

Today’s workplace has changed

​

  • Time is in short supply

  • How we consume information has changed

  • Attention spans have shrunk

  • Maximising employee productivity is a key commercial objective

​

So where is the ‘space’ for learning and development?

​

As a team of learning and development professionals with decades of experience between us, we’ve transformed the performance of thousands of individuals, but experience alone is not enough. The method of training delivery is now equally important as the content of the course.

Team training in action

Creating & Managing High Performance Teams 

With this module we explore the bread and butter of the manager’s life – managing teams. We cover practical and useful tools to make life easier. How do we create a team out of a group of people who happen to work together? How do we navigate the team roles people tend to adopt and resultant push and pull? From predicting team development trends to practical motivational theories, these and other tools are all vital pieces of information for a manager.
