From Technical Professional to Manager and Leader Training

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 team leader training 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 expert course instructors for leadership training courses for managers boasts vast experience in both management, leadership and behavioural psychology to provide you with meaningful insights, skills, tools and tactics.
