Management & Executive Development

Research tells us that one of the main reasons why employees leave organisations is because of the style of management/leadership they experience. To be an effective manager/ leader in today’s organisations requires more than the cognitive skills needed to plan, organise and execute. A successful manager/leader must firstly know themselves and then develop a leadership style which is true to who they are, but also motivates and enables success in those around them. Our programme will facilitate a process of self-understanding, learning and practise in the core skills which develop true management skills.

How do we train and support you?

Building on over 30 years' experience in human resource learning and development, the tutors utilize an experiential learning approach to their programmes. This methodology of learning provides an opportunity for learners to engage with, experience and apply the learning in a practical way and also provides the opportunity for learners to receive feedback on their newly applied skills. The opportunity is also provided to learners to reflect on the full learning experience and how this might be of value to them in the achievement of their learning goals.

To assist and continue with skills development, we facilitate via email a post learning reflective practice utilising skills practice sessions recorded during the course. This assists delegates in embedding new learning, gives further support and enables them to define any further actions required.

This program offers one to one or group coaching as an additional element to further support the delegate and embed the learning process.

DiSC profiling is also available as an accompanying self-awareness tool and learning intervention.
