About the Course

The critical element that differentiates the successful manager is the application of effective interpersonal skills. All too often, people have taken on management responsibilities on the strength of their technical or specialist skills. However, a management role depends on achieving results through others which requires a significantly different skill set.

How can you ensure you have the right mix of emotional intelligence and leadership skills to: meet corporate objectives, keep your team motivated, inspired AND performing? Designed specifically for technical people with new management responsibility, this course will help you build emotional intelligence and your skills in leading, managing, empowering, influencing and driving the performance of others to meet organisational and personal objectives.

You will spend time revising behaviours, beliefs, values and attitudes, and then use this awareness to help develop the skills to enable you to manage, lead and motivate others to meet and exceed objectives.

You will take away a portfolio of realistic, relevant and immediately usable models, techniques and approaches that will dramatically improve your performance as a manager, help sustain productive working relationships with colleagues and build a committed and highly performing team.

Our instructor faculty boasts vast experience in both management, leadership and behavioural psychology to provide you with meaningful insights, skills, tools and tactics.

Who Will Benefit

This course has been specifically designed to meet the needs of those with a specialist skill who are now responsible for managing the work of others and motivating them to achieve outcomes.

Testimonials

The examples used grabbed my attention and were excellent. It was unlike any other course I have attended, Andrew explained and structured the course in a very relatable and interesting manner.
Program Delivery Support Manager, V/Line Corporation

Andrew is fantastic in what he does, keeps the group very involved. The depth of the concepts were made really easy to understand using specific techniques which was interesting.
Data & Systems Manager, PTV

Andrew was approachable and made me feel comfortable to discuss issues – Loved the stories he shared from his life/experiences.”
Mine Engineer, Fortescue Metals Group

I enjoyed learning about importance of self-discovery, selfawareness, concept of an emotional alarm and the importance of empowerment. The section on delegation was especially practical and useful. The “process in action” part was a great way to see concepts come together in one scenario.”
Project Officer, Dept. Sustainability & Environment

The information was presented in a style and quantity that made it easy to digest. I learnt to be more self-aware and to evaluate my behaviour and the behaviour of team members to facilitate better communication.”
Principal Policy Lawyer, Law Society of NSW

I learnt that the best answers come from asking the right questions and I should be providing and receiving feedback and encouraging curiosity.”
Manager Unit Pricing, JP Morgan

Andrew is a very engaging presenter. The course provides a unique perspective to leading and developing skills.”
Mining Engineer, Fortescue Metals Group

I have enjoyed immensely all aspects of this course. Personally I feel it can be attended by anyone as a general course for development purposes not just for aspiring managers. The instructor has been great in sharing his stories, providing simple examples to understand complex things and a good listener too.
Applications Developer, ABS

Influencing with Questions

Getting people to buy-in to change, change old habits or reflect on deeply held assumptions is a core leadership capability. You’ve probably noticed that simply telling people what to do or showing lots of relevant data on Powerpoint slides rarely sways people – at best getting reluctant compliance.

In this webinar, Andrew Lee will show you some practical tools that will have an immediate effect.
