There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all skillset for management (good managers come in all shapes and sizes), and there's often an assumption everyone in a management position knows how to do it. Unfortunately, recent research reveals that as little as one in ten people may possess the natural abilities or skills required. However, with training, you can learn the key skills and techniques, and gain a better understanding of how and why people respond to being managed.

The course shows you how to first look at yourself, your own personality, and your own management style. Then we will show you the steps to becoming a better communicator, motivator and how to get the best performance out of your team.

Part of this course will look at the benefits and challenges of task based management and how to utilise it most affectively. Task-oriented management or leadership is a behavioural approach in which the leader focuses on the tasks that need to be performed to meet certain goals or to achieve a particular performance standard.  

You will leave this one day course equipped with the necessary skills needed to navigate the new dynamics in the office (wherever that be, home, office or a blended workforce).
