Leadership Development Programme (4 days)
Days: 4 | Price: £895.00 (per person)
Leadership has never been more necessary, and its role more varied. Most top executives have grown up through the ranks and have had to master many role changes, but the final change from manager to leader is the most challenging and difficult. To achieve this, leaders need to understand their new role in business. They need to know how to maximise potential of their team through delegation and empowerment, to understand the behavioural differences between them, and to add in the most important aspect of motivation, both personal and for the team. They have to set the blueprint for their business, including setting the vision and the goals whilst moving their team to a self-empowered structure for growth. They need to present themselves as masters of positively influencing people and maintaining a high level of integrity. More Information >>

There are three fundamental tools for being an outstanding manager: 1. To be able to motivate your team, 2. To be able to properly delegate to them, and 3. To understand what it takes before a person can be empowered. Whilst some managers are born with an instinct for this, the bulk of managers realise it is a skill they must develop.
