Skill Overview

Promotion to a managerial position is a significant step in your career, but the transition from team member to manager can be tough. Very often, you will find that you are expected to continue your day job and manage others in addition, while being given little or no help in how to do the latter.

In this intensive and highly practical three-day management development programme, you will learn all the essential skills of good management. All theories about management discussed in this course are immediately grounded in day-to-day practice and we'll use a variety of accelerated learning techniques to embed new strategies into your management style. As a result, you’ll feel confident to put everything you learn into practice as soon as you return to your workplace.
