Method

The course is very interactive. We introduce a small number of concepts and skills, but spend most of the time practising applying the skills in a variety of common situations.

Participants spend time reflecting on how they manage people, uncovering gaps and weaknesses in their practices. They prioritise where they can improve, and develop plans to address their priorities. Participants leave the course with a skill set that they can apply immediately, to manage their people to perform better and develop rapidly.
