Description

Course Summary

Effective managers understand behavioural differences and have the flexibility to comfortably use different management approaches in different situations.  Effective managers choose to develop their present skills and build upon that foundation.


This programme has been designed to determine the most effective management approach as each session introduces key skills, knowledge and attitude training needed to become more effective.  It takes the approach of the manager 'facilitating' staff, enabling them to reach their full potential.  This approach focuses on the co-operative use of power with people rather than over them.
