Our in-person workshops will fine tune those people-management skills:
Build strong team relationships; improve communication; give meaningful feedback; plan and organise your team and workload; get to grips with motivation and understand what makes people tick.
The step up from being one of the team to the team leader is often the most challenging step we take in our people management careers. Making that move draws an invisible line in the sand and can be a difficult transition to make.
This two day programme provides a solid foundation and understanding of the skills essential to the role of team leader. It will help team leaders develop a practical understanding of the role and responsibilities of heading up a team or section and how to maintain and improve the effectiveness of their teams.
This programme will be particularly suitable for those who have no previous training, for newly appointed or soon to be appointed team leaders.
Day 1 – Stepping into the role
Day 2 – Moving things forward
Please note, Day 2 will be approximately one month after Day 1, to allow time for individual actions to be implemented.
Inspire your team to great things; improve self-awareness, emotional intelligence and approachability; adapt leadership styles; distinguish between leading and managing; build positive relationships, recognise contributions and gain people’s commitment.
Are you a leader or a manager? Have you ever considered whether there’s a difference? This workshop focuses on enhancing your management skills by broadening your leadership approach.
Self-awareness, emotional intelligence and the ability to adapt your style and build positive relationships at work are crucial to your effectiveness as a leader. This one day session will help managers explore and understand how to better inspire and lead their team, create a motivating environment and drive success at work.
A time management refocus to help managers prioritise, organise, delegate, manage and maximise effectiveness and efficiency at work; control time stealers, stop faffing, delegate properly and think ahead.
For managers, poor time management is like riding on a ferris wheel – there is the sensation of movement, but when the ride stops, you are in exactly the same place you were when you got on!
This one day session will help managers become more organised and stay more organised! It will help you use proactive time and stress management skills to drive the achievement of your key tasks and objectives and better control workplace pressures. It will empower you to prioritise work effectively, delegate effectively and confidently, deal with interruptions and finish the working day with a feeling that you have actually achieved something!
Gain confidence to handle 1 to 1s in a proactive way; feel comfortable giving feedback; lead a performance review conversation; give constructive praise; help poor performers and think creatively about personal development plans.
Performance management helps maximise people’s potential, achieve organisational goals, improve employee engagement and raise performance levels…but only if it’s done well!
Well conducted performance review meetings provide a fantastic opportunity for managers and their team members to exchange views, better understand each other, improve motivation and identify the way forwards for individuals.
Yet in spite of the benefits, 1 to 1s are so often left on the back burner, with six months, a year or even longer in between those individual meetings. Why? Often because it just feels awkward…
This workshop will help managers develop confidence in dealing with 1 to 1s; avoid common pitfalls and issues; give both positive and negative feedback in an appropriate constructive manner; and ensure they feel more comfortable with actually sitting down with a team member on a 1 to 1 basis.
Maximise communication with your team and with individuals; build a collaborative, open culture; develop strong communication across your organisation; develop a team communication strategy and maximise networking opportunities confidently.
Skilful leaders make sure they’re getting the right message across, at the right time, to the right people, in the right place, in the right way.
Sounds straightforward…but communication can be challenging for team leaders. It is, however, a crucial skill to develop to ensure that everyone is united as a team, moving forward in the same direction and engaged on both a personal and a team basis.
Communicating effectively as a leader is about adapting to the working context and environment you find yourself in; creating a connection with others (even those you find more difficult) and selecting the right mode of communication – whether that’s 1 to 1, team meeting or informal small groups.
This one day workshop will help managers review and refocus their communication approach, drawing on their strengths as communicators and developing a strategic communication plan for their team.
