2 Day Leadership & Management Course Introduction

If you are new to being a manager or leader or you are soon to move into a manager position this fast track course will give you the knowledge and skills to effectively lead people along with the tools and techniques you need for effective delegation, conflict resolution and appraisals.

This 2-day Leadership and Management course combines both of our 1 Day Leadership courses, Effective Leadership & Management & Leadership & Management: Performance Management into 2 consecutive days to allow delegates efficiently get the most out of the materials.

 

Fast Track Leadership Programme

On Day 1 of the 2 days delegates are taken through the meaning of leadership, explanation of leadership styles and models and to identify and apply them to different working and behavioural styles in order to be a good leader.

Day 2 then moves on from this, looking at how you, as a manager, can get the most from your team through motivation by setting goals and objectives and performance management techniques e.g. 1:2:1's and appraisals. 

Delegates attending will finish with a complete understanding of how to work with, manage and motivate their team members, being able to adapt their approach dependant on different behavioural and working styles.

I’ve just had a brilliant 2 day course in leadership and management with Seema and never did I expect to gain the knowledge and content that I have! Seema’s way of teaching is so beautiful and you can see she really wants you to gain from what she is giving. As a more shy person, she made me feel comfortable out of my comfort zone. Great experience and already considering another course with Seema!

Jane’s style was great and allowed everyone to feel involved and express real life scenarios that the whole group could benefit from hearing.

I have really enjoyed the course It has been very thought provoking in my own management style and made me realise that I am good at the HR side of the role but the line management side still needs some work to learn how to override the "emotional" aspects so I can be more effective.
