Personal Effectiveness for Managers

Face to face / Online public schedule & onsite training. Restaurant lunch included at STL venues.

From £446 List price £650

Taking on the role of manager, whether recruited or promoted can be a daunting challenge. It calls upon not only existing experience but also requires development of new skills. With recent polls (Gallup) indicating only 30 percent of employees as 'engaged' with their company, having effective management in place can really make the difference. This course is run as a workshop mixing learning and development with practice sessions. It can be tailored to run over 1 or more days or as part of an ongoing organisational development programme.

Who is this course for?

Anyone new to a management role and looking to learn the tools and techniques that will provide a firm foundation upon which to develop a career in management.
