How can you ensure managers have the necessary skills to manage their teams?

Do you help your staff take that big step from team member to manager?

Do you support your staff by providing regular feedback on performance and coaching opportunities?

We can provide a range of both off the shelf and tailored development programmes for managers at all levels. We can introduce them to basic management skills and help them to develop those skills over time by helping you to establish a coaching and feedback environment. For more experienced managers we offer a range of workshops to provide them with new skills or an opportunity to refresh existing skills and knowledge.

The key areas for developing managers include:

Newly appointed managers or those seen to have potential are given the opportunity to explore what management means and how to make the transition.

An introduction to a range of basic management skills using a variety of learning methods to help individuals identify their strengths and areas in need of development.

Participants use development plans to ensure they focus on small, specific steps to improve their own performance.

Individuals are asked complete skills audits to identify areas where they are performing well and areas where they could do better.

Skills audits can be competed by members of the team to provide a more detailed picture of performance and to give the individual more specific feedback.

Results of audits are used as the basis for personal development programmes for both individuals and groups.

Workshops on coaching and developing team members are provided in order to introduce the skills required to be an effective coach.

We will work with you to develop skills in the workplace in real coaching situations and provide coaching and feedback to managers.

Managers will be asked to think creatively about development opportunities for both themselves and their team members.

Many successful managers admit to the fact that having a mentor helps them develop their own management skills and style.

Having an environment where managers can identify role models and use them as mentors reinforces a positive approach to development.

We will work with you to identify managers who exhibit the style and behaviour you want to encourage and help you to build a network that ensures that mentoring is seen as “the way things are done around here”.

A range of Development Workshops are available to cover Management skills. These can all be tailored to your company needs or designed specifically for you.

All workshops build on skills and use linked theories and themes to ensure structured and continuous development.

We use a variety of self diagnostic tools to allow individuals to identify and highlight their own strengths and preferences.
